Day of the False King

Thank You
THERE ARE MANY PERSONS TO THANK in the creation of this book, and most of them know who they are. But there are six people in particular who deserve to be singled out…
Michael Korda, my editor, whose wisdom and taste permeate every page of this book.
Gypsy da Silva, Queen of copyediting, Mother Courage, and a dear friend.
Ellen Sasahara, whose design skills lift my books into the realm of the sublime. (If they just read as good as they look, I’m home free.)
Katie de Koster, whose fact-and grammar-checking are nothing short of phenomenal; I am humbled each time she returns a manuscript to me, being permanently dissuaded that I know anything about either history or writing.
And finally, to Elizabeth Hayes and Deirdre Mueller, my publicists at Simon & Schuster; their excellent stewardship ensures my tomes don’t slip into the mire of obscurity. They are my angels.
Thank you, one and all.
