I will always be grateful to my beloved teacher Professor Albert Guerard, in whose office I write every day, and to Maclin Bocock Guerard, my dear friend.

I am so grateful to my readers for years of support and loving kindness.

Love and gratitude to my grandmother, Lillie, for telling me my first stories.

To my mother, Sherry Hoffman, I will miss you forever.
