The Napoleon Affair

Bon appétit!
For two of my favorite teachers, Gary Pennell and Michael Peel. Thank you for helping foster my interest in history and other cultures. I’ll never be able to express my appreciation enough. But I’ll sure try.
Acknowledgments
As always, I would like to thank my terrific editors for their hard work. What they do makes my stories so much better for readers all over the world. Anne Storer and Jason Whited are the best editorial team a writer could hope for and I appreciate everything they do.
I also want to thank Elena at L1 Graphics for her tremendous work on my book covers and for always overdelivering. Elena is amazing.
Last but not least, I need to thank all my wonderful fans and especially the advance reader team. Their feedback and reviews are always so helpful and I can’t say enough good things about all of them.
One of those fans is David Nixon, who relayed the story about Napoleon and the ring of John the Baptist to me. I’d been working on something for the Teutonic Order and when I heard that tale, I thought it was the perfect fit. So, thank you for the information, David. I appreciate it and I hope I did it justice.
I’d also like to thank my good friend Billy Massingale for his expertise as my military consultant. As someone who didn’t serve, it is crucial to have knowledgeable military personnel I can go to with questions whenever I’m in need. I appreciate the assistance from Billy, and all the others I’ve spoken to in the past.
Special thanks for the Knights Templar Seal by Cristian Chirita
See you next time,
Ernest
