Duncan's Journey

By Richard James Tomack

Duncan's Journey is a book that teaches a valuable lesson. "Everyone should be treated the same no matter what you are or who you love." You will be reading about how a young Elf named Duncan goes through his own journey and learns this lesson. Duncan does not think he will be accepted because he is gay, but he learns that God, Santa, his family, and his friends accept and love him unconditionally.

Acknowledgments

First off and most importantly, I would like to thank my parents Rosanna and Steve Tomack for not only giving birth to me and accepting me no matter what, but also for always telling me it doesn’t matter who I love, as long as I’m happy. Those words have meant so much to me. I also thank them because if it weren’t for my two amazing parents, Duncan’s Journey would not have been published. They have believed in Duncan since I started writing it, and I wouldn’t have had a way to publish it without them. You guys are the best, and God truly blessed me to have parents like you.

The second person I have to thank is my partner in crime along this journey, my friend Sean Patrick Brennan. I cannot thank him enough for taking the time to proofread and edit Duncan’s Journey. You truly helped it become the book it is today. Sean is extremely talented, not only in his proofreading and editing skills, but also as a writer. His first book, Heaven, Hell, and the Planet In Between, is so good everyone should read it! Sean, you believed in Duncan’s Journey, and that means a great deal to me, and I hope to work on many more projects down the road with you at my side!

I would also like to thank Andy Charles for helping me get this book copyrighted. You are a very good friend and I’m lucky to have you in my life.

Many thanks go to my Aunt Regina for not only pre-screening my book, but also for helping to make my dream of publishing this book a reality. Thank you!

Thank you to my friend Jack Impellizeri for being there to support me on the days I was so frustrated with writer’s block, and also for reading the rough draft of the book and giving me ideas.

I want to thank my friend Christina Calandro. She works in a card store, and one day a customer came in and told her about a book she wrote. Christina got the name of the publishing company that self-published her book and gave me the details. Thank you for always thinking of me—you’re a true friend.

There’s a very special person I have to thank, and that’s my brother Jason. You’ve always been by my side Jason, even when I was the bratty little
