Taker is the
culmination of 14 months of creative goodness compressed into book form. I thought writing the second book would be easier, but I soon learned that was an incorrect assumption. Somehow, the more I thought I knew, the more I realized I still had to learn. It was like chasing a double rainbow — all the way. Whoa.

The original Team Balancer members are all still with me, and we’ve picked up some new cohorts. Thank you all for joining me on this journey. It’s been a blast, and you all have my deepest gratitude.

To my wife Karen, and my girls, Victoria and Samantha, you are the most important people on Team Balancer: Thanks for sticking by me while I juggled the day job and the late-night writing sessions on Taker. I love you guys and couldn’t have done it without you.

To my story consultant, Jen White: She helped to perfect the storyline behind Taker, and I think readers are really going to love how it came together.

To my editor, Megan Hirt: Just wow. I could write words to describe how great she is, but I’m sure Megan would mark up the word “great” and say I’m overusing it and need to find a better word! Thank you for taking my writing to the next level.

To the cover artist, Damon Za: Like my covers? Damon’s a book-cover rock star. Find him at

To Team Balancer: Jennifer Giannini, Ron Sparks, Jeff Greene, Jessica Rockhold, Angie Juodagalvis, Susan Marquis, Monique Howley, Paul and Trish Kellermann, Tristan Setty, Oscar Shui, Josh Palmer, Facebook fans, and Twitter followers. You read Taker (sometimes more than once), you gave feedback, you supported me, and you encouraged me. I just could not have finished Taker without you all.
