A special thanks goes out to Randy Powers of Practical Tactical. Earlier this year, Randy interviewed me regarding The Jakarta Pandemic (interview here) and general disaster preparedness. I thoroughly enjoyed his questions and the practical lessons he found buried in The Jakarta Pandemic. He beta read The Perseid Collapse with a prepper’s eye and provided me with an early copy of Practical Tactical’s Handbook. Not only did this guidebook help shape the final disposition of the Fletcher’s wide array of survival gear and strategy, it currently serves as the “go to” guide for the Konkoly household.
Finally, to the readers, friends and fellow writers who supported my transition to full-time writing. None of this would be possible without your encouragement.
