Pete Nicas is a longtime co-worker and friend of mine. I've always admired his work, as well as his personal ethics. He is sincere, enthusiastic and literally bursting with creative energy. And he's the type who sets his mind to a project and then gets it done -- with utmost quality. I certainly would have no problem having him edit one of my books, and I've worked with some top-notch professionals during my career. I recommend Pete highly.
