Once again it’s the same team that approved, edited and sent most of my previous books on their happy way. As before, I regard Linda de Villiers, Joy Clack and Bev Dodd as a formidable trio. They will offer praise when they think it is due, but will gently disagree when they don’t go along with my ideas. This makes for perfect interaction and, in the end, they usually know best because they are true publishing, editing and design professionals – a rare threesome, and I cannot imagine where else I would find colleagues with the same amount of care and dedicated involvement. My sincere thanks to Nelani Pfaff, who so expertly edited the Afrikaans edition; and to Justine and Ryno for their inspired interpretations of my work. Their combined expertise is evident on every page.
