  Editing and cover design.

  This is what professional book presentation is about.

  No matter how imaginative a writer is with words, he or she still needs professional help with editing. Professional cover design is
equally important.

  In fact, of all the arts, it may be that writers are the people most dependent on these magicians who step in and make your work readable and understandable.

  For editing, my wizards are Liz Johnston, Eric Berglund, Christel Hall, and my wife Kit.

  For cover magic, Keith Carlson.

  And for support of all kinds, Kit is always there, backing me two hundred percent.

  Thank you all, more than I can say.
