Acknowledgments
I started writing this book as a distraction from the chronic pain I’ve been living with for the past three years. This book started off as being based on a dream where I was riding on the roof of a flying trans-Siberian express with a blue dragon flying alongside it. As you all can tell, I deviated from that plan a little bit. It took me just over a month to write the first and second books, but it has taken much longer for editing, cover art, formatting, and beta readers.
I’d like to thank my friends and family for reading the book and catching little things that I didn’t in the stupidly vast amounts of editing I did. I’d also like to thank them for supporting my insane writing binges that kept me up until 5am and caused me to sleep until noon.
A friend of mine, who happens to be a successful author, told me that the key to writing is to never stop editing. She also affectionately told me to “stop dicking around. Normal people don’t write 150,000 words in a month as a hobby!” I’d like to thank her for those words that really got me thinking about what I was actually doing. Without her, there’s a decent chance that I never would have gotten around to publishing this book.
I’d like to thank Scott for his amazing work on the cover art. I imagine that some of you reading this probably wouldn’t have given the book a second look if it weren’t for Scott’s hard work. If you are interested in hiring Scott, email me at [email protected] for his contact information.
Most importantly, I’d like to thank you, the readers. If you enjoyed this book, please tell your friends about it and write a review. The review doesn’t have to be long or complex, just it being in existence helps me continue doing what I enjoy while providing some entertainment and a distraction from the lives of some who really need it.
Indie authors thrive based on reviews from readers so I thank each and every one of you that takes the time to write one.
