I Heart Hawaii
Page 31
Rowan Lawton. You are the greatest agent I could ever have asked for (and I didn’t even ask for one! How lucky am I?). Without your wisdom, support and well-timed cocktails, I’m not sure how I would cope. A lot of the time, this is a weird, uncomfortable and stressful job and I would not want to do it without you in my corner.
If I was going to thank all the friends who made this book possible, I’d get RSI from typing, and that’s just I Heart Hawaii, let alone the rest of them. So I will name and shame those who kept my head above the water and the rest of you will just have to know the part you played in keeping me sane in your hearts. Della Bolat, Terri White, Kevin Dickson, Harriet Hadfield, Emma Gunavardhana, Danielle Radford, this one is for you. Oh, and Jeff Israel because even though we share a home and a cat family and adult sleepovers, you’re still my friend and for that, I love you more than anything else. Even if you probably won’t read this part of the book (or any other TBH). Special I Heart props for ten years of support from Rebecca Alimena, Ana Mercedes Cardenas, Ryan Child, Sarah Donovan, Jackie Dunning, Catherine Ellis, Georgia Fraser, Emma Ingram, James McKnight, Erin Stein, Beth Ziemacki and man, I really want to name all the terrible dudes who gave me great ideas for the books but I won’t. Big author buddy thanks to my beloveds: Paige Toon (and her hot husband, Greg), Giovanna Fletcher (and her invisible husband, Tom), Louise Pentland, Sarra Manning, Rosie Walsh, Mhairi McFarlane, Rowan Coleman, Julie Cohen, Lucy Knott, Miranda Dickson, Isabelle Broom, and god, there are so many more writers who have talked me off a ledge, even if they didn’t know it at the time. Thank you for making me feel like I have a handle on this, even when I don’t.
Most of all, thank you to you. If you read this far, you need a medal but the simple truth is, if you hadn’t picked up any of my books, I wouldn’t be thanking these people for anything because I wouldn’t be writing. It’s been a mad ten years and I don’t have the words to thank you properly. Which is dead embarrassing because writing is my job.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You made all my dreams come true.
