The Ark of Humanity

Thank you, Gerry, for all your hard work in editing and for your dedication to making this work the best that it could be. You taught me how to bring a finished product into being.

  I can not express enough how thankful I am to Cara Goldthorpe, both for her friendship and assistance in the final edit of this work. Her insight and suggestions have greatly enhanced these pages and I am extremely indebted. Her books are fantastic and inspire me to reach for higher heights in my own writing.

  I have to give an immense thank you to Ivan Amberlake for his help in editing all of my books. I am thankful for his dedication to my works more than words can express.

  Without my parents, instilling in me from a young age to follow my dreams, and Mark, a man who has truly taught me what being a man means, I would not have finished this book. It is also friends like Nick, Jen and Dave, with their encouragement, which convinced me to write on.

  Above all else I am thankful to, and for, my wife and daughter. This book is worth nothing without a love like ours. Each day I am blessed to wake up in a place more magical than Camelot, more beautiful than Ireland and filled with more love than I could ever have dreamed of or wished for. Laura, I know what a lucky man I am.
