This book is dedicated to my daughter, Kelly, and that is a small acknowledgement for the huge support she gives me. Kelly has been in my corner since I first began to write seriously. She reads all my first drafts and gives feedback, she encourages me to keep writing with regular messages, sometimes just telling me to pull my finger out and get cracking. We chat about plot and characters and nothing’s ever too much trouble for her. Thank you, Kelly, I’m truly grateful for your part in my writing journey.

It’s so hard to single out two children when my whole family are always there for me. When River Magic was published I wrote this –

Daryl, Kelly, Steven, Dylan and Jared – we started the journey together in Margaret River. Your continued support has seen the story come to life. My thanks and love always.

That still holds true today of course but now I can add two daughters-in-law, Sian and Alexandra, and two grandsons, Harry and Archie, to my team and what a team they make.

And to you my readers, thank you for reading my books. I hope you’ve enjoyed your visit to Margaret River and I look forward to bringing you another story soon.
