She’s been asleep for a long time, but now it’s time to wake up.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
As always, my first and most important “thank you” is to my editor, Lauren Parsons, to Tom Chalmers, and to everyone in the Legend team. Thank you for believing in and supporting me, for welcoming me into your group of authors, and for not making me delete the scene with the baby rats.
Thank you to Rose Cooper for a cover so beautiful, I genuinely squealed with joy when I saw it.
Thank you to Louise Beech, Lynda Harrison, Vicky Foster, Michelle Dee, Julie Corbett, Emily Ottogen and Jodie Langford – my fellow Hull Women Of Words, and my sisters-from-other-misters. You’re amazing and inspiring, and I’m so proud to be one of you. Thank you to my daughter Becky and my son Ben, for not minding me going off into my own head for days at a time, for not complaining when I come to Parents’ Evening with sinister notes written on my hand, for listening to all my cat stories, and for generally tolerating all my nonsense. You make me so proud.
Most importantly – thank you, thank you, thank you to my lovely husband Tony. You make everything possible.
