ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Thanks go to the team at Pilyara Press, including Kathryn Ledson, Sydney Smith, Kate Belle, Desney King and Monique Mulligan.

Special thanks go to Kathryn Ledson and Desney King for their eagle-eyed editorial and proofreading help.

Thanks to my insightful editor, Alison Arnold, who has now worked with me on seven books.

Thanks to my lovely agent, Clare Forster of Curtis Brown Australia.

I pay tribute to the various Tasmanian Devil Conservation organisations. Without their dedication and hard work, our devils might already be extinct.

Thanks to my talented writing friends, the Varuna Darklings and the Little Lonsdale Group, for their friendship and encouragement.

Finally, I’d like to thank my family for their patience and support. Once again, you are all stars!
