Although it’s the writer’s name on the cover, many people contribute to getting a story from idea to finished book – it’s a real team effort. First a massive shout-out to my brilliant agent and all-round great guy, Oli Munson, for his wise advice, expert guidance and tireless enthusiasm. A huge thank-you to my wonderful editor and publisher, Karen Sullivan and to the fabulously eagle-eyed editor, West Camel, who both help me refine the story and polish it into the final version, and to proofreader extraordinaire, Victoria Goldman. And big thanks to the whole of Team Orenda – including the tirelessly working Cole Sullivan, Megan Robinson, Mark Swan, Sophie Goodfellow and Anne Cater.
I’d like to thank the brilliant cheerleaders who are #TeamLori, and all of the bloggers, reviewers and readers who’ve read, enjoyed and reviewed the books so far – I hope you like this one too!
To my family and friends for being so supportive and encouraging, a massive thank-you for always being so fabulous, with a special shout-out to the wonderful Andy, Susi, Helen, Marie, Caroline and Kirsten for listening to me banging on about ideas, plots and characters for hour after hour – thank you a million times; you guys rock!
