Acknowledgments

A huge thank-you to Liz Pelletier for all the opportunities you’ve given me in my career, including the chance to tell this story and share more of the country I love so much with readers. Thank you for pushing me hard to make each story the best it can be and for helping me to bring these amazing characters to life.

Huge thanks to the rest of the Entangled Publishing team, including Heather Howland and Stacy Abrams for your insightful edits, Lydia Sharp for all the comments pointing out which bits made you laugh, to Jessica Turner for your assistance with all things marketing and promotion, Heather Riccio for always answering my questions, and Katie Clapsadl for making RAGT a blast! Thank you to everyone else whose hands touch my books. I appreciate you all.

Thank you to my agent, Jill Marsal, for going to bat for me and for always helping me wrangle my schedule, no matter how out of control it gets.

As always, huge thanks to my husband, Justin, who keeps me going, making sure I’m fed and plied with coffee during long revision sessions. For listening to me moan about how the book will never be finished and cheering me on when I’m writing a section that brings me joy. You’re my everything.

Thank you to my grandparents, who all immigrated to Australia, giving me a beautiful place to grow up. And thank you to my parents for not protesting too hard when I wanted to leave. I know the joy and turmoil of making a new country your home, of leaving things behind and embarking on new adventures. In all of that, thank you to the technology industry for allowing me to stay connected with my family, so it doesn’t feel like they’re quite so far away.
