The Vampires' Birthright (44 page)

Don’t let the name(s) on the cover fool you. Any book is a product of the labor of a lot more people than that. I’m going to keep this short, but I have a few more names that I really want to make sure get their due credit. First up, I want to credit Jim. You’ve been a been a great friend and mentor, keeping me going when things have been hardest and believing in me when I didn’t. Your faith has been a candle in the dark and I can never truly repay you. Matt, you’re the kind of editor every writer needs. The proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. This book is far better for your work, and I never truly understood the author editor cycle of tough love quite before working with you. Without a doubt you are my first choice of editor for the rest of my life. Thanks to Nikki, Clare, Lisa, Eugune, Tanya, and everyone else at Curiosity Quills-you really have made a special kind of publishing house. Finally, and always, my amazing wife Ileana, for insisting that I stay up late and wake up early and that I completely ignore her to pursue my crazy dreams.
