Thank you as well to the army of translators across the globe—like Edoardo Rialti—who have helped the tale of Darrow spread, and to my august narrator, Tim Gerard Reynolds, for giving Darrow a voice that still sends chills up my spine.
The second camp to thank is comprised of the humans who kept me sane and tended my spark of creativity: Josh Crook, Max Carver, Kevin Sheridan, Casper Daugaard, Tamara Price Fernandez, Alexander the Great of Detroit, Willow Robinson, Jarrett Price, Evan Holtzman, and Velia soon to be Holtzman.
Thank you to my sister, Blair, for sharing my love of Greek myth as kids, and for always having my back. Thank you, as always, to Mom and Pops. Mom, for pouring gas on my creative fire, and Pops for making sure the fire didn’t set the house ablaze. Without you two piling books into my arms I don’t know what I’d be, but it sure as hell wouldn’t be a writer.
There’s more people to thank, I’m sure, but I’m jet-lagged and my brain is fried like an egg on an Arizona sidewalk. So I’ll close with a thanks to you, the reader. Thank you for reading my books. Thank you for your letters, your enthusiasm, your tattoos, your cosplay, your patience, your attention, your time, your hard-earned cash, your trust, and your tears. They sustain me. Especially the tears.
With this book Darrow said farewell to worry, you said farewell to Cassius, but one book yet remains till we say farewell to this tale. So goodbye for now, Red God awaits.
