Storm Unleashed

AcknowledgementsThe publication of a book is a team effort. I want to say thank you to those who have helped me present this latest effort to you, the reader. First, my editor, Amy Davis of Riverfog Writer's Group, has molded this writer, and with tough love, forced me to take the next steps to becoming a competent storyteller. Believe me when I say that the many light-bulb moments I have experienced reflect lessons that have been beaten into me, and I hope are reflected in the story. Our collaboration in the four books of Quantum Touch thus far has been rewarding for me as a writer, and I hope the result will be enjoyable stories for the reader. My designer, Jack Parry, and publication consultant, Elizabeth Parry, of Parry Design, are responsible for the fabulous cover and creative layout. They also have joined me on this quest through the first four books of this collection. I would like to express my deepest thanks to George and Jill Hobson Kassis for sharing their knowledge and love of the countries of the Middle East. Our conversations have added to the perspective presented in the story. The collective stories of Quantum Touch revolve around two teachers, Fritz and Ashley, and a high school. The teachers as characters are now a part of my life, but in reality, are based on two teachers from my school years, who left a lasting impression. Both have passed on now, but are remembered. Thank you, Russell Fritz, for introducing me to my own written words. Thank you, Gilbert Ashley, for making learning fun. My final thank you is to you, the reader, those who have joined me on this journey. I hope you have enjoyed the tale, and that Storm Unleashed makes you happy you have returned for the next adventure.
