Acknowledgements

I would like to thank my wonderful fiancé, Mark Wilson, for his support, his love, and his patience. My thanks as well to Tony Teehan, Christian Smith, and Alan McAteer for their feedback during the writing process. Thanks to @JailDice on Twitter for their ornithological advice, and most of all thanks to my late friend Damian Whyte, to whom this book is dedicated, for his advice and his friendship.

I’d also like to thank my publisher, Raevyn McCann, my brilliant editor, BJ Toth, Jaycee DeLorenzo for the gorgeous cover, and all the NineStar Press team.
