… Sandy Parker, who, with Karen, is a member of the Cadre of Eyeball-Numbing Nitpickery, without whom there would be many more errors in these books than there are;

… my two agents, Russell Galen and Danny Baror, who together have achieved Great Things over the years, for Outlander and for me;

… the fabulous Catherine MacGregor—multilingual translator par excellence, and the wonderful Cathy-Ann MacPhee and Madame Claire Fluet, who have provided most of the Gaelic and French expressions used in this book; also—

… Adhamh O’Broin, who provided Amy Higgins’s Gaelic ant execration; and—

… kahentinetha bear, who was most helpful with the representations of kanienkehaka language and culture; and Eva Fadden, who provided advice and help with Mohawk dialogue for both this book and the Outlander TV show, and—

… the many, many miscellaneous kind souls from social media who have contributed local geographical or historical observations, advice on spelling and pronunciation of words in languages I don’t speak, and helpful anecdotes—as well as hundreds of fabulous bee photos.

Also, a special thanks to Tina Anderson and Dr. Bill Amos, who each donated a large amount via auction at the Amelia Island Book Festival, for the furtherance of the Amelia Island Foundation’s educational goals (providing individually owned books to every child on the island), and who in consequence are represented in this book as a.) a glamorous Savannah socialite, and b.) (by request) “a burly, black-haired Highlander.”

My apologies to all the people I’ve momentarily forgotten; you live in my heart and return (if sporadically) always to my memories.

Author’s Notes

fn1 Historical Note: This newspaper was published out of New Bern, North Carolina, between (roughly) 1764 and 1775; The Cape-Fear Mercury somewhat later, around 1783. There are no publishing records of North Carolina newspapers during the war years of the American Revolution. This doesn’t mean there were no newspapers, only that any such periodicals didn’t survive. Sometimes, neither did the journalists. Reportage was risky business.
