Big shout-out to the masterminds behind the software for their patient explanation of features and new developments.

I’m thankful for great examples from the terrific Ron Honthaner and Eve Honthaner, David Marder and Cory McCrum; inspiration from life-long learner and teacher Steve Greenwald as well as the coolest women on the planet—the amazing Thanhhai Lai; also, fantabulous DeAngela Napier, wonderful Barb Lindsay and the collective encouragement from Donna Landry, my brother Doug, and my great sisters Claudia, Cherie and Lisa.

In addition, a huge gratitude goes out to the fantastic team at Focal Press, led by Simon Jacobs, with John Makowski, Michele Cronin and Autumn Spalding to make this book happen with maximum efficiency and cheer!
