Acknowledgments

Sincere thanks to Cate Paterson of Pan Macmillan and Tara Wynne of Curtis Brown for their great assistance with the first draft. Similar thanks to Sarina Rowell of Pan Macmillan for all her hard work, and to Jo Jarrah.

Thanks to David Colovic for providing me with the benefit of his expertise on insolvency and bankruptcy law. I commend him to any barrister still in practice who may have absent-mindedly and very, very innocently neglected to file a tax return for, say, ten, twenty, or perhaps thirty, years.

Thanks to those who provided encouragement for early drafts, including Kendall Odgers, and Imogen Thomas, who dealt valiantly with the first wave of typos.

Finally, love and thanks to Trish Hobson of the Randwick Writers’ Support Centre for her generous decision to fund this book.
