This book is a work of fiction.

Names, characters, places, and incidents either are products of the author's imagination, or are used fictitiously. For instance, a few characters share the names of persons I've known through my life (and one cat), and while they are each awesome people in their own right (even the cat), they are in no way, shape, or form, related to the characters in this novel (maybe a bit with the cat). Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales, is entirely coincidental.

Acknowledgments

Everyone who puts up with me deserves thanks, but I must give a special thank you to my awesome beta readers. Justin, my first draft soldier and reminder that I do this for the sake of fun and adventure, Carla, who doesn't hold back the blades of truth, and Brendan, my ever-positive book buff and tech support line. There is nothing more important to a writer than feedback, and I am forever grateful for yours. Hopefully I will have a few new members in our troop for the next book in the series.
