All the characters in this book are fictitious, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Furthermore, should you for a moment begin to think that you, yes you, resemble any of the characters in this book then we suggest you take a really good hard look at yourself because, well, just read the book, for heaven's sake, and consider the characters therein; a drunken dwarf, an egotistical ex-god, tyrannical trolls, inept outlaws, devious devils, pathetic pirates... need I go on? The point is that if you do associate yourself with any such character then you most probably need to seek professional help. Really. We mean it. You'll thank us for it in the end.
Honestly.
Jonathan Eaves has had a variety of jobs, the vast majority of which have somehow been linked to the consumption of alcohol. He enjoys reading much more than writing because, he says, it's a whole lot easier, especially in the bath. Rude Awakening is his first novel. Well, at least the first one he's ever managed to finish.
