My thanks to the team at Embla Books, especially to my editor Jane Snelgrove, who worked very hard to make sense of this strange story of a woman trapped in a well during a storm, and the troubled person who put her there. Also to my agent Stephanie Glencross, for her continued support and for helping me work through how to get Jessie out of the horrible situation I put her in.
Thank you to my writing friends, Josh Winning, Tom Newman, Jake Webb, Patrick Wray and Andrea Robinson, for their encouragement and for being there when I need them, and to my non-writing friends, Mark Critchell, Fred Dutton, and the much-missed Mark Mitchell, for the same.
Thank you to my mentor, Alexandra (A.K.) Benedict, a wonderful writer and a brilliant teacher, and to my mum and dad, who continue to be the most supportive parents a person could wish for.
Finally, thank you to my wife Bailey, for putting up with me, and to Rufus, who continues to be the greatest dog in the world.
