  I’d like to thank:
  
  
  My agent, Kim Lionetti, who tolerates my wacky sense of humor and says yes to
  my crazy ideas, even if it means being tied up and videotaped. (You can see
  what I mean on my website, [www.Christie-Craig.com](http://www.Christie-
  Craig.com).) My editor, Chris Keeslar, who allows me just enough rope to swing
  on, but never enough to hang myself. (But save that rope, Chris, I might be
  making another video.) Faye Hughes, my friend and writing partner on my
  nonfiction books. (Even though she insists I need a limit on the number of
  bathroom scenes in my books.) Lieutenant D. R. “Duke” Atkins, Jr., with the
  Houston Police Department, who still talks to me even though I misspelled his
  name on my last acknowledgement page. (But honestly, if it bothered him so
  much, he could have his name changed.) All my writing buddies, who are the
  glue that keeps this writer together and sane … well, mostly sane.
  
  
  My daughter, Nina Crai
