The Patchwork House Page 24


  Bob and Jen at Nightscape Press deserve huge plaudits for the work they do every single day for their authors, and they deserve every success (and more awards!). Thanks to Justin for the terrific cover image and for putting up with an annoying author being picky. Additional thanks to Steven Savile, Jordan Ellinger, Richard Wright, Simon Kurt Unsworth, Lou Anders, Trent Zelazny, Mark Scioneaux, James Morrison, Peter Dudar, Peter Giglio, Andrew Lane, Ashley Parkes and Ian Whates. And I’d better leave it there, other than to thank you, the reader, for taking a chance on my first book. I hope you like it. Regardless of what you thought, please consider leaving a review somewhere accessible. That request applies to anything else you read too.

  About the Author

  Richard Salter has been writing for over 25 years, so you would imagine he’d be a lot better at it by now. He is the editor of a Doctor Who anthology and the mosaic novel, World’s Collider, and co-editor of the charity anthology Fantasy For Good, which features some huge names in fantasy fiction and is raising money for The Colon Cancer Alliance. His short fiction appears in various anthologies including Solaris Rising: The New Solaris Book of Science Fiction, Warhammer: Gotrek & Felix the Anthology, Horror for Good and This is How You Die (Machine of Death 2). By day he works as a glorified project manager for a telecoms software vendor, and he lives with his wife and two young sons in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada.
