ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

To my editor Caroline Oakley, with my thanks for her insight, patience and literary intuition – and to Mike for his support and cups of tea!

Many thanks are due to Marcelle Natisin for her atmospheric 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 third novel a new lease of life as an e-book!
