ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

It would be impossible to thank in just a few words all of the amazing people who were an integral part of this project and who’ve helped to shape who I am and where I am today. While I don’t have room to list everyone by name, know that I deeply love and appreciate you all.

To my close friends and extended family, for being my support and sounding board through all of my transformations. To my wise teachers and mentors, your sage advice has guided me well. To those who believed in me and cheered me on, even when I doubted myself. To my gifted team of experts: my fabulous editors, Leigh Haber, Christina Williamson, and Eliza Tutellier; my stellar agent, Bill Gladstone; my fairy godfathers, Rick and Scott Frishman; the talented crew at CRP; my sharp cookie legal counselors, Jonathan Horn, Marc Paisin, and Steve Hirschfeld; and my wonderful website wizards, Isai Torres Garcia and Michael Montgomery. Last, but definitely not least, to my family, Barbara, Allan, Alisa, and Adam. Though I’ve often caused you worry with my crazy adventures, you’ve always been there for me, loving me enough to let me be me.
