With many thanks to Lyn Tranter, Anna McFarlane and Rachael Donovan for their expert advice, ongoing support, enthusiasm for the book, and belief in me. Thanks also to Kate Goldsworthy and Nan McNab for their wonderful editing and proof-reading skills, and to Sue Hines and Irina Dunn who were enthusiastic about the book from the very beginning.
A big thank you and much love to my family and friends who read Racing the Moon during its adolescence and provided welcome feedback and encouragement: to Luke (my husband, soulmate and number one reader and supporter), Ben, Lindsey, Sylvia, Geoff, Wendy, Carol and Jonathan, and to Becky, Lee, Toby and Holly for their support as well.
With appreciation to David Wells and the Bradman Foundation for their authoritative information on Sir Donald Bradman and Eddie Gilbert.
With love and gratitude to Ron and Ray Morgan (my father and uncle), a couple of lads who grew up in the Depression.
And finally thank you to all my readers! To find out more about me, visit michellejmorgan.com.au. You can also find me on Facebook or Twitter @mjmorganwriter.
