Collapse Series (Book 6): State of Vengeance
Page 19
I would also like to say thanks to Steven J. Catizone, who designed a truly excellent cover for this installment. Thanks as well to Giselle Cormier, who always organizes releases and blitzes for me with the speed and efficiency that I need. Thank you to Don Lane, for pointing out tactical details, and for those radio call signs that Cassidy uses.
In addition, I am full of gratitude for the promotional artwork created by Oskari Niittymaki, always professional and always prompt. You will have the incredible pleasure of enjoying our collaborative work in Collapse: The Illustrated Guide when it releases in August of 2015. He’s been great to work with. Thanks to Jennifer Lacey (Jen Eileen Photography), my lovely cousin who has done publicity photos for me since the beginning. Her talent for photography and warm light is unrivaled.
Thank you to my friends and my family (Mom, Grandpa and Grandma) for your support. There are too many to name, but I love you all. Special thanks to these generous souls: Ellen Mansoor Collier, my fellow writer and dear friend. David Hudiburgh, always a great proofer with a good eye for detail. Jessica, Lauryn, Rocklin, Denise, Miranda and Scott – you all add so much laughter and kindness to my life!
The mad rush of the first six months of 2015 is now over, and I am glad to be able to slow down just a little. With four more books scheduled to release within the next 14 months, I am looking forward to exploring the rest of Cassidy’s story, and to expanding my horizons with the illustrated guide and more!
Last but not least, thanks to God. I felt that Cassidy’s journey in this book examines the very nature of the potential evil of man – killing and vengeance. I am so glad that my God loves me, and that I am on His side.
Romans 12:19
Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
