Начало книги
Most authors, if they want to be successful in this business, rarely work in seclusion. A number people contributed their time and talents in helping me bring Solomon’s Grave to publication, and I’m happy to have the chance to say thanks one more time (for anyone I might have forgotten, please forgive me, but thanks!).
My wife Janet, for being the first to pour over the manuscript. For her patience and support as this book came to life during lunches, holidays and coupon days. Andrew, Amanda and Audrey for their bottomless enthusiasm for their Dad’s little obsession. Mom & Dad for a lifetime of love and encouragement, you know I can never say enough to show you how much I appreciate what you’ve done for all of us. Fran Bellerive, proofreader extraordinaire over the decades, for using your colored pens to decorate every page, and never—I mean, never—letting me get away with anything. I’m a better writer for it. Mark Lowell, proofreader extraordinaire number three, for never hesitating to ask the tough questions, and for picking this book apart and putting it back together in the right order. Reverend David Switzer of Trinity Church in Northborough, who took the time to sit down with a complete stranger and discuss the life and times of a pastor, so many details which eventually found their way into Nathan Dinneck’s life. Alton Gansky, for his willingness to mentor a struggling new novelist, and his support and bottomless knowledge of our little secret buried under Solomon’s grave. Mario Kivistik for his Estonian translations (yep, those cryptic lines late into the book are Estonian).
