Throne of the Crescent Moon

Acknowledgments:

A number of people have helped me usher Throne from the “neat idea” stage to the book you now hold in your hands. In particular I’d like to thank:

• All of the readers who’ve helped me hone my writing over the past few years: My fellow students in the 2007 Taos Toolbox workshop (especially Christopher Cevasco, Scott Andrews, and Dorothy A. Windsor); the members of the 2009 Rio Hondo workshop; and the past and present members of the Tabula Rasa and Altered Fluid writers groups (in particular E.C. Myers, Rajan Khanna, Richard Bowes, and Justin Howe)

• Walter Jon Williams, the best teacher in the genre-writing business

• Kevin J. Anderson, for the precious gift of his free time

• The members of the SFNovelists listserv, for their generous mentorship

• Jennifer Jackson, super-agent extraodinaire

• Betsy Wollheim, the best editor/publisher a writer could ask for

This book wouldn’t exist without your help, folks. Thank you!
