Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

This book has been a true amalgam of cooperation between Debra Head, Vaughn-Marie Rodriguez, Alexis Lewis, and me over a multiyear period. Debra Head, a long-time friend, editor, consummate English teacher, and mentor has worked with me through the years to develop my writing style and polish the dull areas. Her expertise is well known among the local area educators as a teacher and expert on the English Language. I would not publish one word without her first giving me the nod. Vaughn-Marie is my cousin and a first-rate editor. Her many insights and edits to this manuscript have been instrumental in helping this true collaboration to become a 'great read.' Her strong persistent Christian faith has encouraged mine and Debra's as well during this arduous journey of our own. To her I give my undying gratitude and hope she will continue to work with me on my upcoming projects. Alexis Lewis, my oldest daughter, has been tremendous help with the technology, cover design, and artwork. Her skills have been significantly useful in overcoming some of the more difficult aspects of creating a book of this nature and bringing it to readers as a polished and professional looking book. To her I give my undying love and admiration and hope she will also work with me in more upcoming titles.
