The Wizard Of Seattle

This book is for my editor, Nita Taublib, because of her enthusiasm, her honesty, and the sneaky tactics she uses to get me to return phone calls.

This book is for my agent, Eileen Fallon, because she never yells at me, even when I deserve to be yelled at, and because we can talk about anything-even politics.

And this book is for my friend Catherine Coulter, because of something she said in San Diego.
