My friend Claudia Cross was essential in forming the concept for this story, and I’m grateful to her. My cherished agent Lee Hough was as always a source of profound encouragement and guidance both during and after the first draft.
A huge dose of thanks and well-dones belongs with this book’s two primary shepherds at Bethany House, Carol Johnson and Luke Hinrichs. Both of you poured your hearts into helping me craft and hone The Watchers tremendously. Thanks for your wisdom, your talent, and most of all, your patience with me. It’s been a great experience.
I must thank my wife, Connie, and my children, Ben, Abby, and Emma-Le, for their incredible patience and resiliency during the latter stages of drafting this book. Only you and I will ever know how grueling that period was for all of us.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
