The Queen Revealed (36 page)

Acknowledgements

This page if for my outpouring of gratitude to the people who helped me write, or supported me, while I wrote this book.

I would like to thank my unpaid, yet tirelessly enthusiastic editors, Monica Hall and Lisa Clausen, for their supportive and careful criticism, not to mention their uplifting compliments, when working with me on this last draft. To Alison Clausen for her devotion to keep the story ‘right’, thank you. Thank you to all my Beta Readers for reading and giving me feedback of any kind. I deeply appreciate it. I would like to thank my friends (you know who you are) for their support in listening to me either waxing lyrical or bemoaning the writing of this book, and taking it all with a pinch of salt. I would like to also thank Anastasia Ward for her beautiful rendering of my little Queen, creating an image that helped keep me grounded and focused on making my mess of notes a proper book once again.

Finally, I would like to thank my family. You are a constant source of inspiration to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being as mad as hatters, every one of you.
