There are many others to whom I owe a debt of thanks. They include â in no particular order â Natalie Scott and the members of my writing group who watched this novel begin to take shape and gave me constant encouragement. Particularly Lisa Storrs whose (now published) manuscript
The Wedding Shroud
inspired me to attempt historical fiction in the first place. Chris Bonnor and Catherine Fox, who co-authored my two non-fiction books and through their faith in me gave me the confidence in myself I needed to finish this story. My publishers at UQP, particularly Kristina Schulz, Madonna Duffy and Christina Pagliaro, who were imaginative enough to accept my manuscript in the first place and have (almost) convinced me I am a real novelist. The talented, funny and dynamic Kate Hunter without whose wisdom and encouragement I might have packed this into a drawer with my other manuscripts. And, most importantly of all, my editor Mark Macleod, whose skill, expertise, warmth and generosity of spirit made him a dream both to work and have a drink with. An unbeatable combination in any editor.
