To my partner Ben, none of this would be possible without your love, encouragement and patience. To Garry and Trish County, your support and enthusiasm is contagious. To my Uncle Billy and Aunty Linda for the help when I came begging for a place to write out of the heat. To my sisters, Lyndsey and Brooke, and all my nieces and nephews – you are my inspiration. To my amazing mother, Odette, you are my hero.
