It was a privilege to have drafts of this book red-inked and pencil-scratched by two exacting and thoughtful editors. Thank you to Professor Michael Herzog for listening to me talk about this story for the better part of two decades, and for continuing to teach me how to write it. And to Allison McCready (Luminaare)—who has been there for all three—thank you for your incredible eye, tireless imagination and your nurturing spirit for the story and all those that live inside it.
I offer my deepest gratitude to Mark Lax, Andreas John and all at Will Dreamly Arts Publishing for their love, support and enthusiasm (and countless other inspirations and memories) over the course of this journey. Here’s to the adventures to come.
To Sheree Jerome (Deliavu) for the joy and light you have brought to my world—what wonders ahead.
And to my son Michael Scott (Lemthia) for the endless stream of questions, the sword fights in between paragraphs and the patience you’ve shown your dear old Dad.
