My critique partners and beta readers were essential in helping me refine the story and improve my writing. I owe special thanks to Cynthia Daffron, Kathy Goughenour, and Paul Sheriff for their encouragement and their critique.
I'd also like to thank Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson for filling my head with fantasy adventures, mythical creatures, and a taste for magic back in the 70's and 80's as I played Dungeons and Dragons with my friends. I had no idea back then that my creative efforts as a Dungeon Master would one day grow into a desire to write a fantasy novel.
I would be remiss to leave out a mention of Bethesda Softworks. If I hadn't gotten so deeply wrapped up in Oblivion, I never would have reached the conclusion that I needed to do something more creative with my time and imagination.
