The encouragement given to me during the writing of this novel was essential, inspiring and far beyond the call of duty. Heartfelt thanks then to Jane Gregory, Broo Doherty, Anya Serota, Sarah Turner and Liz Cowen.
Thanks to Janet Whitaker for her interest in my writing. I’m so excited! Appreciation also to everyone at Gregory and Company and Pan Macmillan for working so hard to help this story make it from the keyboard to the bookshelf, and beyond.
Finally, Naomi. Without you there would be no words at all. I would follow you to the ends of the earth (again).
