ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Much affection and gratitude go the way of David, Phoebe, and Eliza at Blue Rider for their support, their encouragement, and their Herculean levels of tolerance.
Many thanks to the Quercus team who make my books better—Jon, Richard, Lucy, and Ron.
Gratitude, as ever, goes the way of superagent Oil Munson. Cheers for putting up with me.
And here’s me raising a glass to Rob L and Babs for stopping me being too, well, me.
I’d also like to give a manly punch on the shoulder to my boy, George, and some form of stomach raspberry to my daughter, Elora. Seriously, I’m nowt without you.
