Terminus
Page 44
Among the titles I mentioned in Quietus’s acknowledgments, which also continued to help me write this novel, I would like to add The Lady Queen: The Notorious Reign of Joanna I, Queen of Naples, Jerusalem, and Sicily by Nancy Goldstone, John Hawkwood: An English Mercenary in Fourteenth-Century Italy by William Cafero, and Mercenaries and Their Masters: Warfare in Renaissance Italy by Michael Mallett, all of which are wonderful books if you would like to learn more about the eras and subjects of this novel. Omissions and mistakes are my own.
Both Terminus and I owe a great deal the trust, good will, and support of Angry Robot, including editor-in-chief Marc Gascoigne, Phil Jourdan, Penny Reeve, Nick Tyler, and Lottie Llewelyn-Wells. Special thanks to Simon Spanton, Paul Simpson, Michael R Underwood, and to the cover artist for both books, Dominic Harman.
Neither I nor my writing career would be where it is without the faculty and staff of Bowling Green State University’s Creative Writing MFA program, and Dr Lawrence Coates and Dr Wendell Mayo. Osia and Ways and Means made their first appearances in their workshops.
