It takes a lot of people to publish a book, and I’m lucky to have worked with the wonderful team at HQ, in particular my brilliant editor Belinda Toor whose skilful guidance made my story so much better. Thanks to Helena Newton for her meticulous copy-edits (hopefully, that hyphen can stay!), to Helen Williams for the proofread, Anna Sikorska for the amazing cover and the marketing team for all their hard work.
Huge thanks to my readers, bloggers and reviewers, to my writing (and real-life) friends Amanda Brittany, and Sherri Turner for being brilliant cheerleaders.
Last but not least, love and thanks to my family and friends for their continued interest in my writing; to my children, Amy, Martin and Liam, and to my husband Tim for his patience, belief and many cups of tea, especially during the ‘frenzied’ stage. I couldn’t do it without you.
