I’d like to say thank you to everyone involved in bringing this book blinking into the light. My family are endlessly encouraging and always have been. I’m so lucky to have many writer friends who have supported me through the peaks and troughs of my writing life.
Thank you so much to everyone at HQ Digital, especially Cicely Aspinall who is a delight to work with and has brought much wisdom and insight to the book, Helena Newton for smoothing out the wrinkles in the copy edit, and to all involved in design, marketing and sales.
A huge thank you to my wonderful agent, Sarah Hornsley, who has worked so hard to help me make Safe With You the best it can be. Sarah is the sort of calm, smart, clear-headed person you would want by your side in a zombie apocalypse.
