ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book wouldn??™t exist without the concerted efforts of many individuals
working together from different disciplines, who made sure
that the final product is something of which we can all be proud.
First off, I want to thank my literary agent, David Fugate, who initially approached
me to ask if I would be interested in putting together a proposal
for this book project. He opened up the door for me to write my first book.
Jane Brownlow was the sponsoring editor for this book and came up with
the initial concept, got the publisher??™s approval, and got the ball rolling. Jane took
maternity leave shortly after I started writing this book, so Megg Morin (acquisitions
editor) and Carly Stapleton (acquisitions coordinator) kept this project going,
making sure we stayed focused on meeting our objectives and promptly answering
any questions I had. After Jane returned from maternity leave (Congratulations,
Jane!), they all worked together to help me finish up the book.
