ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thanks to my wife, Julie, without whose love and support these
books would not be possible. Thanks to my family—Mom, Dad, Re,
Scott, and Pat—and to my extended family—the Kinneys,
Cullinanes, Johnsons, Fitchs, Kennedys, and Burdetts. You have all
been so supportive of this endeavor, and it has been great fun to
share this experience with you!
Thanks, as always, to my editor, Charlie Kochman, for taking a
chance on this series; to Jason Wells, the best publicity director in
the business; and to all of the great folks at Abrams.
Thanks to my boss, Jess Brallier, and to all of my coworkers at
Family Education Network.
Thanks to Riley, Sylvie, Carla, Nina, Brad, Elizabeth, and Keith out in
Hollywoodland.
Thanks to Mel Odom for his wonderfully bombastic write-ups of the
first two books.
And thanks to Aaron Nicodemus for encouraging me Way Back
When to pick up my cartooning pen after I had given up.
