A Note from the Author:


First of all, if you’ve made it this far, I want to say thanks. You’re two stories in, with three more to go. Plenty of fun is in store for the brothers Tun, and I hope you’re as excited as I am in continuing the next book.

So why am I yammering instead of typing ‘The End’ and letting you get back to your to-be-read list? There’s a lot of good books waiting for you, and that’s exactly while I’m still writing. You spent time reading my book, and on my part, that is a huge thrill. That’s all I want, really. I’ve got this huge story begging to be told, and I’m doing my best to tell it, but these characters don’t really live until they’ve got a reader.

I’m just a crackpot, self-publishing these works on every avenue I can find. In this, I am certainly not alone. If you enjoyed this novel, or at least thought it was worth your time and hard-earned money, then do me a favor: write a review. I don’t care if it’s a single sentence or a longwinded mini-novel (sort of like this little note, eh?). I know I’m asking a lot, but help others find me. Give me a bad review even, if you feel that I deserve it. I’m still writing, I’m still telling stories, and sometimes a stern word telling you your faults will do better than a thousand pages praising you to the sky.

Not that I don’t mind hearing some praise every now and then.

So again, thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed my story. A special thanks to Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Borushaski, and Dr. Brown. They were my Creative Writing teachers throughout High School and College, and I owe them more than they could possibly know.

Questions? Comments? Call me a fool, make a request, or just plain say ‘hi’: send me an email at ddalglish@yahoo.com. I promise you, I’ll respond to every single one, and be thrilled every time.

Also, in case you liked the cover art, it was by an awesome guy named Peter Ortiz. You can find more of his work at http://standalone-complex.deviantart.com/.


Thanks so much,


David Dalglish
