Dedicated to Gail Cassidy

Gail Cassidy recently passed away from cancer. She was my dear friend for 63 years and one of the most intelligent and inspiring people I have ever known.

We worked together at IBM, where she helped me with customer training, technical demonstrations, and later became a technical writer. She eventually went on to teach English at Roselle Catholic High School and authored several educational books for teachers.

Gail also played a major role in my writing journey. When I retired and decided to write my first book, Glow Worm, she encouraged me and believed in my imagination. Her support helped inspire me to create 30 books, 13 movies, 3 serials, and a Broadway play.
