A book is never a solo journey — well, mine certainly aren’t.
Special thanks to:
Kate and the Escape team for giving this story a go.
Mum and Dad who taught me to love reading and encouraged my imagination.
Stephan, who believed I could write long before I did.
GK for his assistance with this story.
The Romance Writers of Australia. Without this group of generous, supportive, amazing women, and men, I’d still be thinking I’d like to write a book one day.
Anne Gracie, Bronwyn Jameson and the Romance Intensive workshop that taught me I needed to learn a hell of a lot.
RWA’s 5 Day Intensive Workshop and Sophia James, who taught me to believe in my stories.
My critique partners, Mervet, Judy and Sandra, who’ve been on the journey from the start.
Ainslie Paton, Anita Joy, Anna Simons, Judy O’Connor, Kaliana Cole, Lisa Ireland, Mervet McClintock, Peter McAra, Rhyll Biest, Sandra Linklater and Sheridan Kent for reading various drafts, offering great suggestions and never losing faith in this story.
My friends, Marg, Joy and Helen.
My sisters, their families and my extended family.
My best mates, E and T, who dragged me from the computer begging for their walks.
Last but never least, my husband, the writing-widower, who supports my insane dreams and proofreads at the last minute.
