Final Contract

Dedication

To Namanda Gaita,

As with many of my books, I leave a few words here for you.

Not because every story I write is about you, but because you have become part of the journey behind the person who writes them.

Some people inspire a particular story. Others simply become part of the reason we keep creating.

Thank you for being one of those people in my life.

With love and appreciation,
Gaiven
