Acknowledgments
Special thank is due to my wife, Judy Randall for her cover design. Judy is a talented graphic artist with the unique ability to turn the mundane into the mysterious. Judy’s support and encouragement of my writing have been vital in the process of creating this story, and I could not have done it without her love. I’m grateful to Rev. Judy Campbell’s leadership of a writing group composed of many talented, accomplished, and published authors. Together they supported me at every turn and gave me the confidence to continue to write. I’m also grateful to many friends for the time and effort spent reading various chapters and providing me with valuable feedback and useful suggestions.
