Thank you to everyone at Simon Pulse who has welcomed me so warmly, and to the publicity and education and library teams working so hard behind the scenes to help promote this title.

Much gratitude to my agent Bill Contardi, who has been there with me from the start. I’m looking forward to more anon, always.

And last but never least, love to my sweet pea and my munchkin, who are growing up too fast.
