Dedications:

To my wife, my coffee drinking buddy! I love you!

To Katherine Coynor, beta-reader extraordinaire thank you for all your tireless work.

To the men and women of the armed and uniformed services, thank you for all of your sacrifices.

To Perla Tirado, she’s done more work for me than I could ever afford and I appreciate it greatly.

To Pauline Milbourn, the word Super-Fan seems to fit! (Is that technically two words?)

Alright if you’re this far into the series you should know this is where it gets a little crazy, on ZF4 I posted on Facebook that if anyone wanted on my dedication page they just needed to post, got a little over a hundred responses, I was floored and honored. So I figured HEY I’m going to do that again for ZF5,well got over seven hundred names that time. As much as I would have liked to do the same here I was afraid I might get in the neighborhood of two thousand names and my editor would most likely have quit.

So I changed it up a bit, mostly had some contests, some involved guessing, some were just for laughs, others were at the right place at the right time and still a bunch others helped out when I asked. I truly cannot and could not ask for a better group of readers if I tried, you guys post funny pictures, or send your well wishes, or sometimes just tell me how much you and your families enjoy my books. I just need you guys to know that EVERY time you contact me, that I’m humbled, honored and thankful.

Dean Window, happy birthday to my wonderful husband love your beloved wife Janice Window & your number 1 son Harry Window, all our love always & forever. Xxxxxx (she asked!)

ZF6 is an absolute trip. It takes you from the afterworld to the underworld and then back to Maine. I loved it.

PROLOGUE ONE

The blackness was complete within and without the tattered walls which should have housed my soul; I could not see my hand in front of my face. I could not even tell if I was corporeal.

“Michael,” an omnipresent voice rang out.

“God?” I answered.

“Some have called me that, others, have used Zeus, Allah, Jehovah, and Buddha.”

“Am I dreaming this?”

“I am an eternal being that watches over the affairs of man.”

“So God then basically.”

“My name, if I had one, matters little. You may use Yoda if that makes you feel more comfortable.”

“Oh come on, you’re telling me I’m talking to the One God and you’re giving me a Star Wars reference?”

“I did not like Jar Jar Binks.”

“Nobody did,” I shot back. “You seem mighty affable for an omnipotent being that could smite me down. Or is it smote?”

An older man of indeterminable age appeared before me at some point. In the last flash of a second, the blackness had been stripped away and replaced by a source of light equivalent to a noonday sun; yet I could see no hint of its origin.

“I didn’t really see You like that,” I said thoughtfully. “Maybe I did…this is rather confusing.”
