Demon Accords 6: Forced Ascent (43 page)

The End.

Author’s Note:

First, I’d like to thank Marty Munson and Sara Balz for their insights and thoughts on
Forced Ascent
.  Ryan Bibby has performed his usual brilliant cover art wizardry.  My editor, Susan Gottlieb has once again managed to turn the runic scribbles of my tattered manuscript into something close to the English language.  My wife and daughters continue to exhibit inhuman patience while dealing with the self-induced psychosis I call writing.  I
have
noticed them twirling their fingers next to their heads though.  Odd. 

And most of all, I need to thank you, my readers, for the fortitude to trudge through my twisted thoughts and ruminations.  Because of you the Demon Accords goes on.

Forced Ascent
let me indulge my inner conspiracy theorist, just a bit, and put poor Chris far outside his comfort zone.  After all, shouldn’t politicians be lumped in with the other monsters of the night?

Next up is
College Arcane
, to find out just a bit more about Declan, Caeco and a cast of dozens; some familiar, some brand new.  After that,
God Hammer,
to continue Chris and Tanya’s story.  From there… who knows?  The Voices refuse to stay quiet and behaved...

Thanks for reading.
