Please note: readers will notice that the typesetting and format of this book are slightly different from most books. Most of my readers tend to be older, and I have been asked by many of them to make the format easier to read. For this reason, in my books, I use a larger font size, I leave a space between paragraphs, and I use Italics for direct speech. It is a marketing choice, and it is a way to meet the needs of my readers. With this in mind, I also provide an audiobook version for most of my books. Thank you.
