Neola asked Kim Harrison:

Hi Kim! I was just curious, in the preface of the book where it lists 'known associates', I've noticed that some characters' names are altered from previous books. Algaliarept is only listed as Al or Gally, Matalina is just Mattie (other characters have their nicknames in brackets), and Ceri's last name has been changed from Dulciate to Dulcet. I was wondering what the reason for this is? Thank you.

Kim Harrison Hi Neola,.
I took some liberties as the POV of the author of the preface was a nameless I.S. agent, and he or she wouldn't know Al's summoning name, etc, but yes, I got Ceri's last name wrong.
It happens.
