Cut the Lights
Page 8
This book is possible because my daughters, Paige and Tess, shared stories about their arts high school—Rosedale Heights School for the Arts in Toronto. Thanks for letting me absorb the atmosphere of this dynamic school so that I could create this story. Thanks also to my early readers, who offered astute feedback: Pat Bourke, Paige Krossing, Tess Krossing, Patricia McCowan, Karen Rankin, Rilla Ross and Erin Thomas. My respect and admiration go to Sarah Harvey, editor at Orca Book Publishers, for creating the Limelights series and providing her usual wit, diligence and care in editing the manuscript. I’m grateful to the entire talented Orca team for helping to produce this book. Last but never least, thanks to my partner, Kevin, for his unfailing support.
