Heart of the Cross
Page 36
Thank you also to my editor Alex Nahlous for seeing the cracks in the story and helping me fix them.
To my agent Selwa Anthony, thank you for seeing the potential in this story. I am grateful for your guidance.
To Liz Kemmler my fellow B&B, who read an early version and declared it ‘the best thing you’ve ever written’. You have no idea how much my head swelled! And to the other B&B crew for that great night at the Cross when I was researching the book!
To Jeff Duff for giving me a wonderful insight to Kings Cross in the 1980s. Thank you for being so generous with your time.
To Susan Wilson, I have no idea how you manage to do all you do, but thank you for being on tap. I can’t wait to see you in New York for a long awaited drink and shopping session.
To my writer’s camp crew: Beck Nicholas, Amanda Knight, Lisa Ireland and Rachael Johns. The time between catch-ups is always too long, but when we do, it’s like no time has passed. I love that I have you all in my life.
To my family, thank you for not reading too much into my books. I assure you, it’s all fiction!
To my girls—I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: You are my world and I love you so, so much. Keep being the wonderful humans you are. You make me proud. Maybe one day I can make you proud too.
And last but certainly not least, the right sock to my left, Trajan.
