First, I would like to thank Kathy, my wife, and Genevieve and Mira, my daughters, for their patience and understanding. They allowed me the countless hours to imagine, plot, research, write, revise and edit—all things necessary to complete Monsters, Maces and Magic: Pawn.
Second, I would like to thank my family, friends, co-workers, and the members of Flankers, all of whom encouraged, questioned, and prodded me along to finish Pawn.
Third, I’d like to thank the folks at Gryphonwood Press, especially David Wood for not only believing enough in Flank Hawk (my first novel) to publish it, but for his continued insight and advice, and an avenue for me to reach readers, offering them the tales I want to share.
Fourth, I want to thank Mario Barraza for applying his artistic talent, practiced skill, and attention to detail in creating the cover art.
Fifth, Kendra Oldaker, for naming a character in the novel, Elisha Justine Woolwine. It was a pleasure to work with Kendra while discovering the added dimension the sentinel brought to the story. Kendra was selected from among the members of Flankers and the readers who receive my newsletter.
That leaves you, the reader. You are the primary reason I wrote Monsters, Maces and Magic: Pawn. Thank you for choosing my fantasy novel from the hundreds of thousands available. I truly hope you enjoy the tale. With that in mind, don’t hesitate to post a review or send an email to let me know your thoughts.
