Thanks to Shannon Fairlamb and author P.C. Haring, residents of Chicago, for checking on all the details of the Windy City.
Since my novel Contagious, I have worked closely with my business partner, A Kovacs. Her guidance and organizational abilities were critical in getting this book made. She rocks. I couldn’t do this without her, nor would I want to.
This is the fifth book I have made with Julian Pavia as my editor. To have that kind of consistent editorial support is a rare blessing in the world of publishing. Shiv, thanks for a great run.
Thanks to Engine Co. 98 / Ambulance 11 for help with the details that made the final scenes truly rock.
Tim Feely is a character in the novel Ancestor. If you want to see what he went through on Black Manitou Island, pick up that book.
