8 forward I can write volumes about how important Jennifer has been to Colonial Gothic. Ever since meeting here at GenCon in 2009, she has been there, helping create the rich background found in this game. From the first few short stories that she wrote for the first revision of the game, to her work on creating the rich details of historical locales, she has tapped into what makes Colonial Gothic, well Colonial Gothic. A lot of the work she has done, has either gone out of print, or the ebooks they are found in, no longer available. The reason for this was nothing sinister, it came down to how Colonial Gothic has grown. Now, thanks to this book, you hold all the fiction Jennifer has written. There are many cool twists and turns waiting for you to discover. I have read these stories many times, and every time I finish reading them I am amazed that someone so talented wants to work with me. So sit back, and prepare yourself to discover what I love about Colonial Gothic. Richard Iorio II March, 2016
