As always in the undertaking of such a large, painstaking endeavor, there are many people to thank for their help. First, a big thank you goes out to Paul Genesse. Thank you once again, my friend, for providing your keen insights into this book and the story overall. This series wouldn’t be what it is without your help.
My publishers, DAW and Gollancz, provide tireless work and expertise to get these books onto shelves (both physical and virtual). To Betsy Wollheim, thank you for your continued guidance. I will always be grateful for your belief in this series. To Gillian Redfearn, thank you for your many insights into writing in general and on this particular book. To Marylou Capes-Platt, as ever, I appreciate your skill and insight into writing, not only in the art of brevity, but also the larger issues of continuity, character, clarity, and so much more. And to the DAW and Gollancz production, marketing, sales, and back office support teams, I thank you for everything you do. You are the unsung heroes of publishing.
I am indebted to my agent, Russ Galen, not only for this book, but for helping to ensure that the full series will see the light of day. Many thanks to Danny Baror and Heather Baror-Shapiro as well for your dogged efforts in bringing this series to readers all over the world.
Lastly, I’d like to thank you, the Shattered Sands fans. I continue to be blown away by your enthusiasm and your kind words. Thank you for coming on this journey with me.
