Author’s Note
AUTHOR’S NOTE
The Sharpened Fangs of Lupine Spirit has been a personal project of mine for about three years. I started the Vos Draemar series back when I was 16 in 2017, writing a chapter every day after I’d completed my daily studies. It’s been through re-edit after rewrite after redo, alongside the subsequent books in the series, but I am now finally at a point where I am happy enough with Corsair’s story to share it with you.
There is a group of people I’d like to thank for their unrelenting support, not just in regards to Vos Draemar but in my pursuit of writing books as a whole. They have all played their part in getting me to where I am today – whether it be through illustration, publishing or their support.
Thank you to Adam Pickering, my illustrator, who designed the jacket and map for this book. Adam also illustrated the book covers of The Chronicles of Derek Dunstable and The Little Dudes Skool Survival Guide. While this may be a very different genre, the talent is still up there. I am looking forward to working with Adam again in the future.
Thank you to Next Chapter for taking me on and helping me publish not just this book but the Vos Draemar series as a whole. They have given me the opportunity to share my stories with all of you and, for that, I am nothing but appreciative.
Thank you to the author Stewart Bint for guiding me through my writing journey since The Little Dudes Skool Survival Guide. Your help and advice have been of immeasurable value to me and I am honoured to have your ongoing support.
Thank you to my siblings, Christian and Charlie, for being there for me when I needed it. I can’t even put into words how thankful I am for something as immeasurable and priceless as the bond we have.
Thank you to my dad – Francesco Sansostri – for being the man I want to be. He’s kind, he’s strong, he’s caring and has always been there for me. There’s no person I admire more. There’s no person I’m more proud of than him.
Thank you to my mum – Deborah Sansostri – for being the ninja warrior she’s always been. She has always shown nothing but love and care towards me. I love her to the moon and back.
Thank you to my fans, wherever you are, from The Little Dudes Skool Survival Guide and The Chronicles of Derek Dunstable. I know it’s been quite the wait for the next book to come out but I am grateful for your patience. I hope this has been worth the wait!
And, finally, thank you to you – the reader. Without you, the tales of Corsair Sedrid would be unknown. Without the reader, there’d be no need for the writer. I cannot thank you enough for your interest and I hope you’ll be looking forward to the next book in the series.
Grazie di tutto,
HG Sansostri
