ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The major acknowledgment, as always, is to Eric Flint for writing 1632, which spawned this fictional universe, and for inviting me to be a part of it.
Many thanks to Kerryn Offord and Bjorn Hasseler for generously sharing some of their characters with me for the stories that required them.
I am grateful to all the historians and researchers who spent time in early modern European archives and publish their results.
Many thanks to Walt Boyes, the editor in chief of the Ring of Fire Press, for struggling with my manuscripts, and to Gorg Huff for turning them into something that is e-book friendly.
