Island of the Sequined Love Nun

knife.)
    Here in the States, thanks goes out to the following people:
    Bobby Benson, who told me about Micronesia in the first place.
    Gary Kravitz for voluminous information on aircraft and flying.
    Mike Molnar for more pilot stuff as well as patient explanations of computer and communication technology.
    Donna Ortiz, who gave me the phrase, "you're just a geek in a cool guy's body" (and I have no idea who she was talking about at the time).
    Dr. Alan Peters for medical information.
    Shelly Lowenkopf for supplying out-of-print books on cargo cults.
    Jim Silke and Lynn Rathbun for drawings and maps.
    Ian Corsan for advice on equipment and how to survive in the tropics.
    Charlee Rodgers, Dee Dee Leichtfuss, Liz Ziemska, and Christina Harcar for careful readings and helpful suggestions.
    Nick Ellison, my agent and friend, for helping to keep the wolf from the door while I wrote.
    Rachel Klayman and Chris Condry, my editors at Avon Books, for their confidence and support.
    And most of all, my thanks to novelist Jean Brody, who took the time from her own writing to do a line edit on Love Nun.
    While all the above people helped in the research and writing of this book, none of them are responsible for the liberties I took with the information they gave me. When in doubt, assume that I made everything up.
