Writing a book can be somewhat of a solitary process, but the actual creation of a book, and bringing it to publication, involves a whole team of people. There are a lot of folks I need to thank, so bear with me, and if I’ve missed anyone, it’s because I have a terrible memory, not that I didn’t appreciate you!
Thank you to my long time editor, Lori Whitwam, and my proofreaders, Tammy Payne, Linda Helme, and Karey McComish, for your sharp eyes. Many thanks to my first reader on this book, Glynis Elliott, for all your encouragement. Hearing those words ‘it’s the best thing you’ve written’ is ultimately what I strive for. I was thrilled you loved Some They Lie so much.
Thank you to fellow authors Mel Comley and Shalini Boland, for allowing me to pick your brains when necessary, and for all of your support as well. I’m truly grateful.
Many thanks to my friend Kelly Forrester for your advice when it came to how an estate agents works, and for your suggestions, even though it wasn’t that kind of book! And thank you to everyone who helped me with the mental health aspect and hospital procedures. You shall remain anonymous, but not forgotten!
And a final massive thank you to Rachel McClellan, who showed me just how generous the author community can be. I may not have finished this book if it hadn’t been for you.
And thank you to you, the reader, for reading and supporting me. I hope you enjoyed the book.
Marissa.
