If it’s true that no one wants to see how sausages or laws are made, then it’s doubly true that no reader wants to see how books are written. It’s not pretty. But someone has to see this, and Dianne and Patricia see me, hear me, and put up with me during my many months of sausage-making. Truly, this book would not have happened without them. Thanks again, and know I am appreciative.
