"John Conroe’s first book does more than display his familiarity with the currently popular sub-genre of vampire stories. It also showcases a truly individual and engaging storytelling voice. With intelligence and sly humor, Conroe has crafted a tale that is more than mere genre fiction. It’s a truly engaging and rewarding read." |

Acknowledgment in Book 1: God Touched (2010)[]
This book would not exist without the help of a lot of people. Thanks to my beta readers: Deann, Jessica, Elaine, Kaylie (my niece) and my sister, Laurie. Thanks to Jack for listening to improbable ideas and offering creative names. My Russian computer experts, Vincent and Rouslan kept my names accurate. My brother Scott provided invaluable editing and advice.
My parents need to receive my thanks for teaching me to enjoy reading (no reading – no writing). Most of all I need to thank my wife, Robin, and my girls, Emilee and Allison for living with a mid-life writer. Thanks for putting up with all the hours I snuck away to write.
