ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I wanted to thank many people, as I come to the end of this saga. It all started to make my beloved First Reader laugh, and that was before he’d come to fill that role in my life. Sanford Begley, I am looking forward to many years as your wife.
My editors, Jason Dyck and Amanda S. Green, because in the end, the polish you put on my work really shows. That, and knowing I make you laugh is a success every time you tell me that.
The gang at the Monster Hunter International forum. I have run some very odd scenarios by you, and you are the reason I chose the Wendigo to stalk with gruesome power through these pages. A few of you joined the cast – you know who you are. Thank you: to you, and to Larry Correia for letting me play in his sandbox with his fans.
Sarah Hoyt and Dave Freer, for the mentorship that began so many years ago now, and continues to this day. You’re both great writers, and I aspire to follow in your footsteps.
I know I’ve got many more I could keep talking for a while… but I won’t. That’s what the blog is for, at www.cedarwrites.com. Come on over and set for a while. We talk about more than just me, because I’m not as exciting as my bio makes me sound.
AUTHOR BIO
Cedar Sanderson was born an Air Force brat in Nebraska and spent her childhood enroute to new duty stations. Her formative years after her father left the Air Force were spent being home-schooled on the Alaskan frontier. She removed to the "more urban" climes of New Hampshire at the beginning of high school. She has had the usual eclectic range of jobs for Fantasy/ SF authors, ranging from Comedy Magician to Apprentice Shepherdess. She counts the latter as more useful in controlling her four children and First Reader. Her fascination with science dates to her early childhood spent with her grandmother on the Oregon coast studying the flora and fauna and learning to prepare a meal from what she could glean from a tidal pool. This lead to a lifelong interest in science, cooking, and herbalism.
At present she is attending college in Ohio pursuing a dual STEM major in forensic science and microbiology this time around. Her first two times in college were for theology and liberal arts. She is maintaining an average of nearly 20 credit hours while running a household, an entertainment business, and writing multiple novels on the side. This has the result of leaving those watching her indefatigable efforts panting in exhaustion.

Witchfinder by Sarah A. Hoyt
In Avalon, where the world runs on magic, the king of Britannia appoints a witchfinder to rescue unfortunates with magical power from lands where magic is a capital crime. Or he did. But after the royal princess was kidnapped from her cradle twenty years ago, all travel to other universes has been forbidden, and the position of witchfinder abolished. Seraphim Ainsling, Duke of Darkwater, son of the last witchfinder, breaks the edict. He can't simply let people die for lack of rescue. His stubborn compassion will bring him trouble and disgrace, turmoil and danger -- and maybe, just maybe, the greatest reward of all.
Nocturnal Origins by Amanda S. Green
Some things can never be forgotten, no matter how hard you try.
Detective Sergeant Mackenzie Santos knows that bitter lesson all too well. The day she died changed her life and her perception of the world forever. It doesn’t matter that everyone, even her doctors, believe a miracle occurred when she awoke in the hospital morgue. Mac knows better. It hadn't been a miracle, at least not a holy one. As far as she’s concerned, that's the day the dogs of Hell came for her.
Investigating one of the most horrendous murders in recent Dallas history, Mac also has to break in a new partner and deal with nosy reporters who follow her every move and who publish confidential details of the investigation without a qualm.
Complicating matters even more, Mac learns the truth about her family and herself, a truth that forces her to deal with the monster within, as well as those on the outside. But none of this matters as much as discovering the identity of the murderer before he can kill again.
War to the Knife by Peter Grant
Laredo's defenders were ground down and its people ruthlessly slaughtered when the Bactrians invaded the planet. Overwhelmed, its Army switched to guerrilla warfare and went underground. For three years they've fought like demons to resist the occupiers. They've bled the enemy, but at fearful cost. The survivors are running out of weapons, supplies, and places to hide.
Then a young officer, Dave Carson, uncovers news that may change everything. An opportunity is coming to smash the foe harder than they've ever done before, both on and off the planet. Success may bring the interplanetary community to their aid – but it'll take everything they've got. Win or lose, many of them will die. Failure will mean that Bactria will at last rule unopposed.
That risk won't stop them. When you're fighting a war to the knife, in the end you bet on the blade.
