  Note from the Author

  Amazed by her Grace is not a series of three free-standing works but is one novel divided into three copyrighted books. I made this unconventional publishing choice because I knew that, as a single work, the novel would be so costly to print and bind that a traditional publisher would have to charge the reader an exorbitant amount just to make a small profit. On top of that, I knew that since I was no Margaret Mitchell, a traditional house would not take a chance on a book of such an unmarketable size coming from an unknown author.

  I was not, however, going to abbreviate Grace. It had taken 25 years, on and off, for me to construct the story, and I wanted every word to remain. Therefore, I made the decision to self-publish. However, since cost to the reader was still a concern of mine, I published in e-book form so that I could control the price. That is why the first two books are free. And though it was unnecessary in electronic form, I retained the three-book format to avoid overwhelming the reader with one massive work.

  Thus, you have this April 2015 edition, which includes a reader-delight feature that may exist in other novels, but I have not found it: identification of the music that appears in the story and that inspired me as I created certain characters and scenes. These descriptions are found at the end of each book, and I hope they help the reader connect closely with the story. This version of the novel should replace any earlier downloads you may have acquired of the series.

  Because Amazed by her Grace is a self-edited work, any remaining errors of fact or grammar are entirely my own. So are any strokes of genius. Enjoy.
