Thank you to my editor, Elise Jones, who has showed superhuman levels of dedication in bringing the first two books of this series to print at the same time. You really have ‘touched the sun’! Erica Wagner, my publisher at Allen & Unwin, has been wise and wonderful as always. I really struck gold with the whole team at Allen & Unwin – being published by you is an honour.
My beautiful family, you are the honey in my tea. Actually, you’re also the tea, and the milk, and the cup itself. Pretty much everything. I love you.
