Thank you, Gerry, for all your hard work in editing and for your dedication to making this work the best that it could be. You taught me how to bring a finished product into being.
I can not express enough how thankful I am to Cara Goldthorpe, both for her friendship and assistance in the final edit of this work. Her insight and suggestions have greatly enhanced these pages and I am extremely indebted. Her books are fantastic and inspire me to reach for higher heights in my own writing.
I have to give an immense thank you to Ivan Amberlake for his help in editing all of my books. I am thankful for his dedication to my works more than words can express.
Without my parents, instilling in me from a young age to follow my dreams, and Mark, a man who has truly taught me what being a man means, I would not have finished this book. It is also friends like Nick, Jen and Dave, with their encouragement, which convinced me to write on.
Above all else I am thankful to, and for, my wife and daughter. This book is worth nothing without a love like ours. Each day I am blessed to wake up in a place more magical than Camelot, more beautiful than Ireland and filled with more love than I could ever have dreamed of or wished for. Laura, I know what a lucky man I am.
