Aces Wild (36 page)
Authors: Taylor Lee
David and Joe – always there when they didn’t have to be.
Kevin -- who stayed the course.
A special thanks to Carolyn McCray, my advisor, and Amber Scott, my mentor, founders of IBC, the Indy Book Collective. These formidable women, saw the future of Indie book publishing, claimed it, and are passing it on to writers like me.
Kudos to Kate Sterling, who designed my glorious cover art. And to Russell James, my editor and historical consultant.

About the Author
My stories are the stories of my heritage. From the residue in my blender of mixed races, cultures and world views, my characters emerge. The penchant to root around in the past is a blessing. It comforts me to know that while evil slinks in the shadows, the warriors of the world sniff it out – and snuff it out.
Can it be so simple? Deshi
(The Joker Is Wild
) asks in disbelief, “That’s the goal of the Grandmasters? To stamp out evil? Sorry, Father, I prefer poker. It has better odds.”
Ah, youth. Fortunately there is love and, yes, it does conquer all, but not without a hell of a fight -- at least for my warrior men and women.
I am as real as the words on the page. Taylor Lee
