World of Ryyah: Birth of the Half Elves by H. L. Watson - HTML preview

Acknowledgments

I give thanks, first of all, to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who provided me with wisdom and guidance throughout this entire process. I give special thanks to my editor, Judy Andrekson, whose expertise and knowledge were instrumental in bringing this book to fruition. Thanks for all your hard work and your encouragement early on. Thank you, Josh Addessi, for providing creative and vivid cover art. I send a very special thanks to my good friend and mentor, Daniel Clegg, who pushed me to write and provided encouragement throughout the entire project, from start to finish. Without you, my friend, I don’t know if this book would have ever come into existence. Thanks for being you. And last but not least, I dedicate this book to the memory of Daniel’s wife, Beverly Clegg, who died many years before I had the opportunity to meet her. I knew Beverly through the stories Daniel told about her, and I grew to love her character and personality, and felt a special bond with her despite having never met. What stood out the most for me was her integrity and fearsome loyalty to those she loved. Through Daniel’s stories, his wife has lived on, been loved, and has had a profound effect on my own life. My images of Beverly played an intricate part in shaping the character of Brandela. I hope in some small way this honors Beverly’s memory. Rest in peace, Beverly Clegg. You are missed.
