I don’t
think writing stories ever gets easier, just more complex. To that end, I’d
like to acknowledge the following people who helped this story avoid such
tangled skipping reels of rhyme.
To Finola
Richardson – for your kind words and watchful eye on these pages. However hard
I try to make it happen, you stop Declan from descending too far into drunken
debauchery.
To Andrew
Ireland & Pete Sturdy – steak night, gentlemen?
To Imogen
Rice – a splash of color on the early chapters and the whole tale seems brighter.
To Elisha
Rooney – suave sons of bitches aside, I would do well to heed your wonderful
words.
To Michael
Dunn – let’s just say it was on purpose.
To Scott
Eadie – enjoy the grind, bro.
To the good
people at Red Adept, for their editing, proofing, and general polishing of this
silly old story.
