ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Being a writer isn’t a glamorous existence. Many sacrifices have to be made, especially when you are trying to write aside a ‘normal’ day job. Unfortunately, the nearest and dearest endure the brunt of these sacrifices. It is not always easy. My writing priorities don’t necessarily correlate with family priorities and there is a fine balance that has to be tread, and so I owe my family a great debt of gratitude.
I must send a huge thank you to many other people who have helped to create these books. To my superb editor, Debbie Hobbs-Wyatt and my brilliant cover designer, Jessica Bell. Also to my fantastic background team of advisers: Terry Galbraith, Phil Croll, Varun Sharma and Barbara Olive.
Thank you to my team of Advance Readers, many of whom have become friends. You give me the encouragement to keep going through the gloomiest of days. Your support means everything to me. Finally, a sincere thank you to all of the readers who take the time to review my books and contact me. Your kind words and encouragement truly mean the world to me.
Thank you all and I hope to see you again.
