Acknowledgments
My deepest gratitude and thanks to the many people at Que Publishing who
have worked so hard to support me. I’m grateful to Loretta Yates for inviting
me to write this book and always brightening a tough day. Huge thanks to
Todd Brakke for his editing and sense of humor. Thanks also to Mandie Frank
and Barbara Hacha for their production and copyediting expertise. Once
again, I appreciate Greg Kettell for reviewing the technical content of this
book moments after I finished each chapter—and for always being so sup-
portive of all my writing efforts.
