A word of acknowledgment from me…
A brief word from me, the one who is putting this story down for your reading enjoyment. Firstly, this is a story based off of Roger Zelazney’s Amber series, taking place well after his ends. So let’s just get this straight right now. This idea is not entirely mine. Secondly, my very close friend Jarrod Stanek herein bases the story off of the DRPG (Diceless Role Playing Game) of Amber as GMed over a matter of a few years. Thirdly, I simply put into words what we have played out (or not). The only thing of this that is solely mine is Ashlyn. Any embellishments are mine since this story is taken from her point of view—mostly. A fourth and important point is that this saga would not have been possible without those having taken part in those countless Saturdays we spent in Amber, those people being Jarrod and Nicole Stanek, Mark Roripaugh, David Shadle and Buddy Nelsen.
My love and thanks to my biggest supporter, who has let me find my “One Thing” with unwavering love, patience and support. Thanks, Hunny!
I
hope that you enjoy reading of our adventures as much as I have enjoyed putting
them down on paper.
Love,
Laurie
