Acknowledgements
It takes many people to write and publish a book … for their generosity and support I want to say thank you.
Cressida Downing, my editor, for her no-nonsense approach and relentless enthusiasm for books … mine in particular. Ryan O’Hara for his expertise in design and for producing a super book cover. To Helen Janacek for a more than thorough copy-editing, Aimee Dewar for her typesetting and project management and Anthony Pugh for a bilingual spell checking equal to none. Helena Halme, an author in her own rights, for giving me her help in marketing my books.
To the friends who have patiently read, reread and advised: Alison Thorne, Elisabeth Gaunt, Geraldine Kelly, Malcolm Fortune, Tim Watts, Gaye Murdock, Kathy Vanderhook, Kat Clarke, and Jeff and Jourine Moore.
Finally, a special thanks to ARCADE Gallery for providing plenty of fantastic contemporary art, and inspiration.
