Things happen behind the scenes with every book. There are movers, and there are shakers, and without both the moving and the shaking there would be no book for you to read.
Here is a woefully inadequate bit of thank-you to some of the ones who helped bring this one to you.
Lucienne Diver: The baddest of badass agents. You rock so hard, and I am much appreciated in your faith in me.
Greg Cox: Editor extraordinaire. Thank you for loving this story as much as you do.
Melanie Sanders: Copyediting ninja extraordinaire. You really did bring the extra polish this book needed.
The Tor Books team: Thank you for all your most excellent work. You kick all the ass.
The Writers of Metro Atlanta: You critiqued this one. Thank you for your kind words, and thank you even more for your harsh ones.
The Missus: I appreciate how you let me go and write when I need to. Your support gets me through.
H. P. Lovecraft: You started this whole Mythos thing and let other people play in your universe. I appreciate that. Literally, without your Mythos this book would not exist.
Robert E. Howard: You, sir, have taught me so much about writing. Thank you. Rest easy in your Valhalla.
Thank you to all the women throughout my life who have trusted me with their pain. I am humbled by you all.
