Chapters (101)

Warm thanks also to my family, who continue to show their loyalty and joy when it comes to my work. Special thanks to my parents, who tirelessly travel to book fairs and other literary events to hear me talk about my writing and my books. It means so much to me to see you sitting there in the audience.

Thank you to all those who help me to produce my books and ensure that they reach as many readers as possible:

To Salomonsson Agency, who continue to promote my books across the world. It’s always a celebration when the translations of my novels land on my doormat! Special thanks to Karin Lindgren and Julia Angelin.

Thanks to Mirja Turestedt, who records my audio books and fills each story with voices.

Finally, thanks also to my wonderful publisher Piratförlaget. I’m so happy that you were the ones who decided to believe in me and Fredrika! It’s a great gift to have you in my life as a writer. Special thanks to my editor Anna Hirvi Sigurdsson, without whose meticulous attention to detail this book would have been much less readable. Special thanks also to my publisher Sofia Brattselius Thunfors, whose listening skills, enthusiasm and knowledge are invaluable resources.

Thank you.
