Wow! It’s so hard to believe that I’m getting to live my dream yet again. It’s amazing to see that months of writing, editing, conferencing, and rewriting are paying off in the delivery of a story that I’m very proud of and happy to see as a part of the Celtic Mythos universe. There are many more stories to tell, and I can’t wait to put the proverbial pen to paper and deliver them to my readers.
I need to begin by thanking the readers themselves for their support, reviews, and for the awesome feeling you give this middle-school-teacher-turned-author. Being accepted and read by you is an honor, and I can never thank you enough for that.
My family, friends, students, and colleagues are also very supportive and hold a dear place in my heart. When you first begin sending out your manuscripts to agents and publishers and getting one rejection after another, you begin to think that your dream will never come true. It means the world to have such wonderful people who hold you up when you’re wobbly from the rejection beat down that some of us endure. To hear their words of encouragement makes you feel loved and believed in.
Thank you to Igor Adasikov for his extreme artistic talent and to Laura Brown for her keen eye as my proofreader. Thanks to Light Messages Publishing for being that cherished partner in the creation of the Celtic Mythos series. I can’t believe we are already to book three in the series! Elizabeth, you have been fantastic to work with and your encouragement and creative mind have been invaluable throughout the entire process.
My wife, Lori, and children, Evan and Paige, are among my greatest supporters, and I thank them for their love and massive encouragement. I would also like to thank my Mom, my brother, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, and parents-in-law.
I would be remiss to neglect to thank all of those I’ve connected with on social media as an author in this era. So: #thankyou! Thanks to all of the book sellers (both independent and larger) for your support and opportunities to come and visit with many of your patrons.
Join me online @bradalamar29, on Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, and at bradalamar.com. I love to connect with my readers and learn about their stories.
Lastly, I want to thank the “Name a Character” contest winner, Raven Nivhaar, for the winning submission for a character in The Dominion Pulse. Raven, this little character is definitely a Della, so thank you for the name suggestion and your continued support.
