For their invaluable guidance at every step: my wonderful agent Eve White, and Ludo Cinelli.

For championing my writing from the beginning: the team at Legend Press, in particular Tom Chalmers, Lucy Chamberlain, and my fantastic editor Lauren Parsons.

For their love and support through the whole ride: My husband James. My family – Jeff, Geraldine, Anna-Marie, Zeb, Joab, Damian and Olivia. As well as all the extended Wayne and Kattan clans.

And most especially, my children – Audrey, Alice and Elijah – who inspire me every day.
