"I could not have written this book without first learning to write, and I have the utmost admiration for my writing coach, Toni Robino of Windword, who graciously led me through this many-year journey in the BookWalk program. And Windword's Doug Wagner is the reason this book is as well-written as we like to think it is.

Thanks for your incredible work, Doug, and for steering me into the unknown by making me finally write about Wolfie."
