Every last one of you is a legend in your own time and I want to thank you all from the bottom of my spaceship and laser-beam loving heart.
In particular I would like to thank my parents, Ann and Phil, my brother Chris and my Uncle Adam and Aunt Cheryl for their continuing encouragement, support and unflagging belief in me. It is more powerful than any will for success I possess myself and the desire to make them proud is what fires me on my continuing journey.
I have to thank a few people in particular that have gone above and beyond in their support of me and my first tentative ventures into writing and releasing fiction. Those people are Becky Hill, Dom Hayward, Liz Crewe and my partner Andy Bain for all coming to my very first book launch, which was the launch of Zero at Fantasticon 2014. These were the people that stayed by side all day, listened to my reading, cheered me on and made Zero flags and were, in short, the best supporters a debut author could ask for.
I also must thank Amy Wood for being the first person IN THE WORLD to buy and finish reading Zero. She read almost the whole thing on her night shift the day of release and her feedback and encouragement were the most soothing of balms to my release-day jitters.
I have to also thank the wonderfully talented and generous writer M C Dulac, who took on the not-insubstantial job of Beta Reading Haven. The book is worlds better because of her comments and commitment to good fiction and this is something for which my gratitude knows no bounds.
I also have to thank my partner’s wonderful family, Stuart, Angela, Jennifer, John and Genna for their both moral and financial support of my writing career. Between them they have assisted in financing crowdfunding campaigns, promotional events and writing retreats, without which the Orbit Series just plainly wouldn’t have been possible.
Thanks also to Reg Davey of Dagda Publishing who made all this happen and to Matt Davis of Rock and Hill Studios who put the beautiful face on it.
Last, but by absolutely no means least, I want to thank Paula Disley for not only being a great and supportive friend but also accepting deliveries of boxes and boxes of stock and paperbacks on my behalf. Without her help I would never have anything to show for my efforts and it continues to be very much appreciated.
Peace and love to you all, guys. You all rock beyond measure.
