AcknowledgementsRomania is a land steeped in much history, and the myths and legends that surround the area of The Carpathian Mountains and the remote yet beautiful region of Transylvania are as real to those who inhabit the region as the realities of everyday life. In writing Kiss of Life I owe a debt of gratitude to my good friend Malcolm Davies who has spent a great deal of time in recent years in that land of romance and legend. His knowledge of the country and its people and the customs and beliefs held in some of the remoter parts of that land have been invaluable to me in creating the world inhabited by Christina Radaluć and the other characters within this tale.
Thanks are also due to Graeme S Houston for his (as usual) brilliantly designed and executed cover design and to Juliet
