11 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my wife, Crystal, and my two daughters, Alexandria and Paige, for all of their love and support during the time I was writing all my books. They make it all worthwhile. I want to thank my family and especially my brothers, Rick, Gary, and Rob. They have always been there for me. I have to thank Tylor Wentworth.

I would also like to thank Christine O Connor, who did a great job keeping everything organized, and Jeff Kellum, who was the lead for the entire book.
