The Kingmaker's Redemption

Acknowledgements

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSI can’t imagine anyone writing and publishing a novel on their own. So many people have contributed to making mine a reality. First and foremost, I want to thank my wife Jackie and son David for their love and encouragement throughout the process. As in my life, I couldn’t have made it this far without them. I also want to acknowledge my Beta Readers: Kathy, Eric, Sue, Linda, and Patrick for their constructive critiques which steered my work in the right direction. Finally, I want to thank Terri and all the staff at BQB Publishing for bringing this project to life. Special thanks to my editors, Allison and Caleb, who taught me so much and guided me so adeptly to the finish line.

I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize the influence that our American system of government had on the arc of this story. While flawed in many ways, democracy is ultimately dictated by the will of the people. The individual struggles of our fellow citizens to achieve liberty and justice within that system is the story of America and was the inspiration for this book.
