ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I have so many people to thank for their invaluable help with this book:
Anita Toste, my sister, who writes poetry and always answers the call when I run out of rhymes and ideas for spells!
Dr. Christopher Tong, who is incredibly intelligent and can do just about anything. Did I say “just about”? I meant anything. Thank you so much for always, always being there no matter how busy you are. You are truly a gifted man and an amazing friend.
Cheryl Wilson,
