Blade of Erogrund

Acknowledgments & Notes

Dear Reader, 

Thank you for coming this far. With every moment you spent reading this book you have given me courage to continue it and for that I thank you with all my heart. It has been over a year in the making since I published the first draft of the prologue and it has been a long road getting here. 

Special thanks must go to....

@CelticWarriorQueen17 for offering much-appreciated encouragement throughout this process. This book honestly probably would not have been finished without you. 

@LordLysander7776 not sure if you're still on here, but if you are than you deserve some of this too. Your editing and blunt critiquing offered a special insight to writing this book and was invaluable. 

@scytherO you kept this book going at a consistent pace and cut that one-chapter-a-month lull. I really appreciated your enthusiasm and your willingness to call me out when I didn't keep it going. 

Now there has been some talk of a sequel through PM-ing and comments so I'm just going to express my thoughts on that now: there is no plan for a sequel at the moment, but if there becomes some you all will be the first to know. This book was really written to be a stand-alone but I understand how it maybe didn't turn out that way. Hopefully most questions were answered in the Epilogue, but if not please comment here and we can rethink it. 

Aaaaaand just in case you were wondering what type of emotions I was going for with this book, here's the 'soundtrack' of music I listened to while writing it (asterisk indicates it was particularly influencial):

It's a really awesome music lineup; I would highly recommend provided you listen to the clean versions of 'em. Most aren't bad but a couple have some questionable parts. 

Enjoy! Please share this book with friends, family, social media, etc. so the word can get out. After I edit it, it will be sent off to publishers so cross your fingers!
