In the last few months I have had the intense experience of a cooperative venture. Writing a novel, it has been eye opening how many people have offered their services in order to finish the work on time.Friends have read it,others have offered plot lines and countless persons have provided positive reinforcment every step of the way. This has been complemented by the professionals who have treated the work with such devotion and respect. Last but not least are the authors who have assisted in the crafting of the final version.To all who have modeled such teamwork I say thank you..
