AUTHOR’S NOTE
You made it! To the end of the trilogy, that is. For a few months, I wasn’t sure I would. I agonized at some length about where this book should go. I had planned the Atlantean backstory years ago, and my intention had always been to tell that story in the final book, but after the release of The Atlantis Plague, I was kind of nervous about it. The Atlantis World is different from the first two books in many ways (most of it doesn’t take place on Earth and it’s less about our science and history and more about our possible future and the myths that have driven us).
In the end, I decided to write the book I wanted to read, the book I hoped fans who loved the first two books would be delighted with. I hope you’ve enjoyed it, but I understand if it wasn’t quite what you wanted or expected. I tend to swing for the fences. In this case, I wanted to write a book a small group of fans would absolutely love rather than a novel a large group of readers would just like. As a reader, that’s what I prefer. I want the author to go for it: to take a little risk and either hit it out of the park or strike out at the plate. Life’s too short for base hits.
I’ve learned a lot about writing and a lot about life in the last year. Being a writer hasn’t been a cakewalk. But for now, I’m going to keep stepping up to the plate. I hope you’ll stick around.
