Dedication

For Julie.

 

For Christa, thank you for your belief in me and this story; and Lisa, for all your hard work.

 

For my lovely mother and sister, for instilling the love of far—off places and magical worlds through words, in me.

 

For the rest of the Awesome Foursome, without you guys I couldn’t do this. Bec, Kylie, Nicky—you are my writing soul.

 

And last but not least, my fabulous husband, who thinks my writing romance is ”pretty cool”.
