My sincere gratitude goes out to my betas, Lisa, Leslie, Salice, Jo, and Jerri. Their worth is beyond gold. My deepest, most heartfelt thanks to each of them, but especially to Lisa for challenging me to do justice to the characters and grapple with certain questions even more deeply.

Not sure when it will be ready, but this one will be an experiment for me: a...happy story. May take me a while to research this intriguing thing called happiness, though...
