The only girlfriends I ever had, Melis<strong>and</strong>e <strong>and</strong> Annarose (I’m still honored you chose<br />
me). And a Special Thanks to my three myspace muses Redhead Becca, Rhiannon from<br />

My Celebrity Muse from <strong>the</strong> tender age of 13 - Milla J from Kiev, you actually got me<br />
through <strong>the</strong> worst years of my life. Most of all I must bow before Amaterasu whose heart<br />
<strong>and</strong> skills made this book possible.<br />
