Acknowledgements

AcknowledgementsJudith Hansen is a friend and editor who has thoughtfully and intelligently helped with this book. I also thank my publisher, Cheryl Tardif of Imajin Books, for her suggestions and patience. Without Judi's and Cheryl's professionalism and skill the book would not be the finished product it is.

My daughter Diane was a source of encouragement, support and help with the promotion of this book. I would like to thank my father, Kenneth Ross MacDonald, who loved science fiction, history and was my inspiration. I would also like to thank my mother, Patricia Jean MacDonald, who wrote as well. She and my father passed along their love of reading and writing to me, and the rest of my family has encouraged and shared my love of literature.

Phil Parry and his son Lee kindly read the manuscript before it was submitted and I'm grateful for their comments.
