To Terry's successor, Tara Parsons, for picking up the book in the final stages and helping me to cover the final furlong.
To Steven Roman and Toisan Craigg for their eagle-eyed copyediting and proofreading.
Finally, David M. Kiely, the Renaissance man, who not only is my husband but a walking compendium of wide-ranging talents: author, cover designer, first-look editor, researcher—as well as a living dictionary, thesaurus, and encyclopedia, all rolled into one. His guidance and advice continue to be invaluable to me.
