With especial thanks to my editors at Millennium: Deborah Beale, Charon Wood and Caroline Oakley; Tad Williams for early insights; Alison Sinclair for much-valued moral support; David Pringle and Lee Montgomerie of INTERZONE for first publishing ‘Mothmusic’.

Many thanks are due to Marcelle Natisin for her vibrant cover art, to agents John Richard Parker and John Berlyne of Zeno Literary Agency Inc. and to Joshua Bilmes, Jessie Cammack, and Lisa Rodgers of JABberwocky for giving my first novel a new lease of life as an e-book!
