Author’s Note

A personal dedication in the front of the novel was one of the reward levels offered during the funding campaign for Transilience. Only one dedication was offered and you can imagine my delight when my parents scooped it up at the first opportunity.

This novel could not have happened without them. They possess the best qualities a child would wish in their parents. They have given me unconditional support. They believe in my work and me. And they have the highest of hopes that I will succeed in any, and all, of my endeavours. I am very lucky to have them in my life.

So, Mom and Dad, thank you. Thank you for helping me to realise a dream. Thank you for helping me on my journey to become a published author. And thank you for being such great parents.

Your son,

Kevin
