I was asked to
oversee a multinational tech surge, in a hired gun manner if you will, and The
Somali Deception was shelved. After
the consulting engagement, I returned to writing full time, and did not return
to The Somali Deception. Then in
April of 2013, The Cathari Treasure connected with an audience and began to
climb the Best Seller list, sparking encouragement from my wife to dust off the
next in the series. Around the same
time, an editor from a New York publishing house inquired as to whether the
story could be told as an episodic serial. Up for the challenge, I rescaled the project and the result was a four
episode serial with twice the action as the first story in the series.
The are numerous contributors that bring a project to
completion, my family first and foremost, a myriad of fellow authors and
friends on twitter, and countless others.
Individually I want to thank Chad Ness, Lon Grover, Alastair
Boyd, and Margot Kiser all of whom supported the project either through shared
research or the diligent reading of first drafts. I would also like to thank the readers
that signed up as First Readers for this manuscript as their contributions have
helped me to create a better release edition.
If you enjoyed The Somali Deception, I would appreciate if
you would share your thoughts in a review. Reviews help other readers that may have similar interest as you decide
whether this is a story they would like to read.
And again thank you.
