The Eaters of Time, The Next Installment of The Cycle of Bones Series: Coming Soon!
There are many, many people without whom I could not have written and released this book, all of the books that will follow in The Cycle of Bones and future series.
Jim Trice, Dawn Hart, David Shepherd, Knut Martin Fjelldal, Diane Worden, Ed & Scott Abbot, Sean Dorosinski, Nicholas Ranch, and Jancie Johnson Ter Louw, you made up the foundation upon which I stood. Without your love and support, this book would never have come to pass.
My Beta readers on this project Sean Lewis, Laura Simmons, Doug Miller, Terry Mosterller, and, of course, my editorial staff Joe Mistretta, Laura Simmons, and Gwen Hernandez; your individual and collective help was (as always) invaluable and insightful.
Christopher Murillo—my sound designer and mix-engineer extrordinaire, for your work on the various soundtracks for these books, as well as the “Scions of Skolf” animated series. You know all the things I don’t when it comes to audio engineering. I learn something new every time we work on a project. For that, your patience, and your endless enthusiasm, I’ll always be grateful.
Simon Vance—the narrator for the Dawn of Unions, and the literal embodiment of the voices in my head, at least for Thorion County; you most assuredly did not have to offer me your services. I cannot thank you enough. I’ve learned so much from you. I’ll do my level best to carry those lessons over to this and all future works.
Jeff Brown—the man responsible for bringing the faces and places in my head to startling and stunning life; my only complaint is having to wait until the next book is ready for art before I get to work with you again.
My Research team Krista “Brekke” Capps, Thomas Mitchell, Heather Little, Dave Scheidecker, Sayf al-Dawla bin-Arslan al-Rumi, and my translators Knut Martin Fjelldal (Norwegian,) Ben Beyeresdorf (German,) Inga (Polish), Ags—Baroness of Baked Goods (Polish and Arabic,) Janshuro (Czech), and Lucy (Czech,) thank you for putting up with my endless questions and clarifications.
To my Hastati Gard—it was an honor and one of the great joys of my life to train, stand, and fight at your side. Protego Regnum.
A special and enormous thank you to my Patrons on Patreon. Your love and support make all of this madness possible in more ways than just the obvious financial one.
