ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

 

There are, as always with these things, a huge number of people to thank. Undoubtedly I’ll leave some folks out, so please don’t be mad at me! Firstly thanks to my wife, Jennifer, for being a very honest critic of the early drafts of this novel, and for all your love and support. Thanks to my kids, Aidan and Ethan, for keeping it down long enough for me to get some work done. Thanks to Lupe and Polo, my tireless in-laws, for watching said kids on many Sundays while I got some MORE work done. Mia the dog has no idea how much she helped write this novel, because she’s a dog. I tend to come up with my best ideas when I’m walking her, so thanks Mia.

 

Bob and Jen at Nightscape Press deserve huge plaudits for the work they do every single day for their authors, and they deserve every success (and more awards!). Thanks to Justin for the terrific cover image and for putting up with an annoying author being picky. Additional thanks to Steven Savile, Jordan Ellinger, Richard Wright, Simon Kurt Unsworth, Lou Anders, Trent Zelazny, Mark Scioneaux, James Morrison, Peter Dudar, Peter Giglio, Andrew Lane, Ashley Parkes and Ian Whates. And I’d better leave it there, other than to thank you, the reader, for taking a chance on my first book. I hope you like it. Regardless of what you thought, please consider leaving a review somewhere accessible. That request applies to anything else you read too.
