A thank you to all

I want to thank everyone for your support. I have a few particular things to say and yeah I can get a bit corney.

It is odd to give thanks to someone that isn't here and likely has no idea this is up here, but sometimes you just have to do the right thing. Sharon, I thank you for being there when I wrote my first story. History being what it is, I do know that was the start for me.

Ms. Mach (another person not here and likely has no worldly idea this is up), my 7th grade english and home room teacher. Read my very first book and told me I should never quit writing.

My children, my life and inspiration in all things. You will never know how much you keep this old man going.

Claire for pushing, Dana for cheering me on, John for trying (even if you didn't read it all) Tim for letting me vent, Heather for often helping the 'Old Man of the Sea' see a bit more clearly, Mike for just being yourself and any other friend I didn't mention for going ahead and letting me be me, even when it was painful for you. I appreciate it more than I could express.

Last and certainly not least my dear beloved wife Eva. In all my life with all you have put up with, you never cease to love me, support me and remain my number one fan. In a dozen lifetimes I could never repay or think to ask for anyone as great and wonderful as you. This first book in the saga is 100% for you. I love you forever.

I am going to continue with the next book where you can her more about Elidra, Delvakhan, Amadagu, Tagor, Mora, Jade, Joliel and what happens to baby Khelidra!

Onward to the next book! :)
