The Red Book was opened to the public in 2009 and I have a copy myself. It contains a painting by Jung of a pillar of fire spouting from a grey stone in a room as I describe in the book. But of course, I made up the interpretation of the picture.
Jung did travel in North Africa and also to North America and Clark University. He also counseled physicist Wolfgang Pauli on his dreams, the wasp being one of his real nightmares. The relationship of these men to the Apostles of Jesus is fictional.
Any mistakes in the research are purely my own.

Acknowledgments
For Jonathan. Growing together, but not in each other’s shadow.
Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me during the writing of the book, especially to all the enthusiastic readers on my blog, TheCreativePenn.com. Your comments, tweets and emails in the last year have made it a journey I’ve been privileged to share. Your votes for the book cover and comments on the back blurb in particular helped me no end and I will continue to share lessons learned as we travel together on the writer’s way.
A special thank you to my proof-readers: Jonathan Bleier, Jacqui Penn, Elizabeth Wilmott, Karen Thomas, Heidi Uytendaal, Damian Cox and Alan Baxter, dark fantasy author at AlanBaxterOnline.com.
Your feedback significantly helped shape the final version of the book. An extra thanks to Damian for the brilliant plot ideas and introducing me to the Preston & Child Pendergast series, which enabled me to see a future for Morgan’s adventures.
Thank you to Tom Evans, TheBookWright.com who encouraged me to write fiction when I was blocked by the idea that I was only a non-fiction writer.
Also to Mur Lafferty murverse.com whose advice “it’s OK to suck with your first draft” helped me get the words down. The first draft of the novel was started during National Novel Writing Month and I would encourage any writer to participate if you want a jumpstart: nanowrimo.org
As an independent author in this process, I engaged a number of professionals along the way. The wonderful cover and interior print book design was created by Joel Friedlander from TheBookDesigner.com. Joel’s brilliant blog is packed with information for indie publishers. Steve Parolini at TheNovelDoctor.com did a fantastic Editorial Review that helped me rejig the structure, plot and fill out the characters.
