I would like to thank my loving wife Connie for her continuing contribution as my chief editor on this second volume.

Judith Elevado has also remained a valued contributor. She continues to astound me in the excellent advice she gives in regards to not only my character development but the plot progression as well.

Last but not least, I want to add a new contributor, Rosie, another co-worker of mine who has provided the valuable service as a sounding board for my storyline development.
