This book would not have happened without the efforts of the following people. I would like to thank:

Robert Daniel Pytlyk, whose friendship and direction really made this book possible.

Karen Ammond, President of KBC Media and my publicist, who helped make this book a reality from concept to completion.

Bill Gladstone, my book agent from Waterside Communications, who has been more than an agent: he has helped guide this project and worked with me throughout this process. Pierre Turgeon, who believed in an unknown author and this book.

Francois Turgeon, who is such an incredible, cooperative art director.

Gratia Ionescu, whose patience, guidance, and assistance were so valuable.

Elizabeth Licorish, my editor, who truly knows how demanding this process was: I couldnt have done this without her.

Mark Hollywood Hatten, who was my sounding board

through all of this. You rock, dude!

Mary Chambers, for all her help.

Laurie Elyse, for all the connections and friendship.

Michael Wright, for his invaluable honesty and insights. Gerry Krochak, for all his help. One day, well work on a book together.

Kelly Champagne, my transcriber, who was so efficient and organized.

Mike Ash, for being there and tending to all the little things. Richard Caithcart, for dealing with all of my technical, computer problems.
