From the beginning, Tom Doherty and Linda Quinton have supported our efforts to bring the story of North America’s first peoples to life. Without their belief, encouragement, and commitment to our nation’s cultural heritage, these novels would never have existed.
To Theresa Hulongbayan and the Facebook Gear Fan Club: Book Series First North Americans go our eternal thanks.
We particularly want to thank the great staff at the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site. Mark Esarey, Matt Migala, Bill Iseminger, their staff, and the volunteers keep this remarkable World Heritage Site open to the public. To learn more, contact www.cahokiamounds.org. Better yet, when you’re in the St. Louis area, experience Cahokia yourself.
And finally, a special thanks to Jen, Cyle, Ashley, and the wonderful staff at the One Eyed Buffalo in Thermopolis for brewing Michael’s stout and Kathleen’s Sessions IPA. OEB is our haven for brainstorming plot, story, and character.
