ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I am extremely grateful to Lawrence Russell and Rick Gibbs for reading the early versions of Second Life. Their insights, wisdom and advice were invaluable to me as I worked through several drafts of the novel. I’d also like to acknowledge Dave Henry, Roxanne Loveday and Elaine Kyle for their excellent copyediting and proofreading skills, and for identifying more than a few typos prior to the novel’s publication. — DFB
