I'd like to thank my four children, Kyle, Cameron, Gillian, and Curtis, for their love and support. All the kids are teenagers now, so they were quite happy to leave me alone to write as much as I needed. And this time around, some of them can drive. As a result, leaving me alone was even less demanding on them than it has been for past books. They are my loves and my life would be much less rich without them.
