Sending love, luck and many thanks to Jeanmarie Morosin for opening the portal.
Thank you so much, Jane Godwin and Katrina Lehman. How it is possible to have two such adorable bosses, I’ll never know. May we have every editing meeting atop a skyscraper at dusk.
Many thanks to Marina Messiha for the amazing cover art and design of this book. And thanks to everyone at Penguin for your help and support. I’ve collected psychological profiles for each of you, and find you all, if not sane, at least thoroughly delightful.
A massive thank you to my family and friends, who love me in spite of my invisibility. Whether we’re together or not, you’re always in my heart. A special thank you to the real Zac, Kirra, Luke, Jake and Samantha. I’ve spent almost every waking moment thinking of you while writing about your adventures. I love you and all my other nieces and nephews – you’re all in a book if you look hard enough. Don’t fight!
Thank you my darling mum for everything, ever, including finally reading one of my novels! I know, I know… the others are too scary. My dad would have loved them. I miss him too.
And my Joshua. Thank you can never be enough. Our lives and minds run through every page of this book.
