This book is dedicated to my family. To my daughter Sarah and my son Nathan, I know it was hard to understand at a young age why I would work and write all of the time instead of playing and spending time with the two of you this past year. It was very hard for me too, as I watched both of you playing and having fun without me. I have realized how precious my time needs to be with each of you! To my wife Robyn, I appreciate your patience; thank you for being a huge support emotionally through your encouragement. I know there were many nights that you fell asleep without me by your side, but I promise I was writing and not gaming online.
