Writers work hours at a time in isolation, but bringing a book from concept to finished product requires the support of many people. My support starts at home with my wife Christie's encouragement and my son Cameron's early bedtime. Cameron, when you're old enough to read, we'll create some games together.

Early in this project, I received thoughtful, timely, and sensible feedback from my editor David Barnes. Thanks for the great advice.

I thank the reviewer, who took time to read and respond critically to my work for which I will be forever grateful. Know that I appreciate every correction, suggestion, and improvement he offered. This book benefits from his attention.
