Acknowledgements

An acknowledgements page was something I regrettably did not have in the pages of "The Midnight Hour". Of course, like any writer I had the help and support of many people to aid me in accomplishing my goal. Johanna, Wendy, and Anne from the Johanna Bates literary consultants group who provided me with of insight into the world of publishing and in editing my manuscript when it was still very young. Rick and Diane Kelly, Diane who read my manuscript when it was nearly ready, and Rick who spent many a hour helping me format and prepare my files for print, he also provided me with the first professional illustration of Titan that carried the light of inspiration through many dark hours. Jim Henry, who created and put up the titansadventures.com website and also formatted my e-pub file, and continues to offer help and encouragement in the ongoing process of building the Titan series. Wanda Gibbons, who, when I was only in junior high, was one of the first and only teachers to be very complimentary in my creative writing and remains supportive to this day. To my mother in law Jackie who always remains one of my biggest fans and advocates. To my parents, Tom and Kathy, who always had me believe that I could do anything I set my mind to. And lastly my wife, the real Carly, who was the one whose eyes shone the brightest when I told her of my dream to write encouraged me to give it I try so that I wouldn't regret it and also forced me to not delete my first draft when I thought it was beyond saving. Without these people there would be no Titan, thank you.
