(Can I blush now?)

Wow ... I am speechless! Seriously! Thank you so much, everyone! 

(EDIT ... OK, I have to add more. This REALLY means a lot to me ... my mom passed away only a week before I started this book. I poured my heart and soul into it, thinking of her every step of the way. It means more than you know to hear the reactions, and it really brought a tear to my eye.)

And Phil, most especially thank you for your fantastic technical editing!!! You rock! 8-)
