Anon

The author of this book had chosen to remain anonymous while writing under the pseudonym of Anon (pronounced an-nun) for the Anon Group, LLC. When asked to describe this story, at one point he had written:

"The author has coined the phrase 'reality novel' to describe this format that is so infused with historical accuracy it becomes a 'wilderness of mirrors,' entrapping the reader in a scenario wherein 'Truth' becomes stranger than fiction."

In an odd twist of fate, 'Truth' has become stranger than fiction. Or, perhaps its a matter of life imitating art. Either way, after years of research, writing, and rewriting, the author of this book passed away just after the manuscript was submitted for publishing. How sad that he did not live to see the result of all his effort. And now, like the narrative character in this story, we at Anon Group are left with the remainder of his writings, hoping to publish more of his works in honor of his memory.

For the gentle spirit who had such a positive message for the world, we repeat the memorial he wrote for the author character in this story:

"In loving memory of (a True Friend),

The world is darker without you

but Heaven shines brighter with your presence."
