I also want to thank the staff of Bloomsbury’s London, New York and Sydney offices for their tireless enthusiasm and dedication to the Avena series, with special mention of the beautiful covers, for which my many thanks go to the talented designers.
To my agents Geoffrey Radford and Janelle Andrew, I thank you both. Though you live and work on opposite sides of the world, I am grateful to have you both with me on this series and taking care of the million and one things that needed doing so I could get on with what I love best – writing.
I have a truckload of thanks for Sonia Palmisano from Bloomsbury’s Sydney office. Sonia, I thoroughly appreciate your remarkable organisational skills and support at my author events. Thank you for smoothing the roads and clearing the paths.
Then there is my family. My sister Therese has been the fundamental driving force behind this series. I can’t thank you enough, sis, for your encouragement and belief in me. You saved my life once with your abundant healthy stem cells, and now you have helped resurrect my career. What more can a big sister do? Wait, I’m sure I’ll think of something.
Thank you also to my daughters, Amanda Canham and Danielle Curley, who have both embarked on their own writing careers. You are the first to read my stories, the first to critique them; you are my backstops, the jewels in my crown, and I am truly blessed to have you both in my life.
Finally, I want to thank you, my readers, for your support and encouragement, and for coming on this incredible journey with me. I am and always will be grateful.
