A special nod to Travis West, my online guru, for redoing my webpage. (You can check it out at robertrotenberg.com and sign up as a subscriber. Don’t worry, I only send out short and funny updates a few times a year and no one gets your e-mail address but me.)
Plus a shout-out (wouldn’t you love to know who came up with that phrase?) to Dinah Forbes, my extraordinary new editor.
And of course to my wife, Vaune Davis; my children; and all those close to me.
On to book five.
