About the Author
To Libor, Martin, and Jitka, who suggested that Prague should have its own pack of werewolves. I hope you enjoy them. Good luck.
Also to Shanghaied on the Willamette, who brought out a new album (finally) so I don’t have to do anything drastic. Seriously, gentlemen, thank you for your music.
