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 Fairyed.
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 Fairyed.
Third, I’d like to thank the folks at Gryphonwood Press, especially Melissa Bowersock for editing Fairyed, and David Wood for his continued support.
Fourth, I’ll never be able to say enough about the cover art Drazenka Kimpel created. Her talent and skill captured Marigold transformed into a fairy as vividly as my mind’s eye imagined.
Fifth, Brandon Full and his daughter, Thora, named the character Emma in Fairyed. It was a pleasure to work with them while discovering the added dimension the fairy, Emma Glade Flower, brought to the story. Brandon was selected from among the members of Flankers and readers who receive my newsletter.
That leaves you, the reader. You’re the primary reason I wrote Monsters, Maces and Magic: Fairyed. Thank you for choosing my fantasy novel from the hundreds of thousands available. I truly hope you enjoy the story. With that in mind, don’t hesitate to send an email or post a review to let me know your thoughts.
