  Special Acknowledgment

  While I was writing Templar Silks, Carole Blake, my beloved agent and dear friend of twenty-seven years, suddenly passed away. She plucked my first novel, The Wild Hunt, from the “slush pile,” began reading it in the office, and very quickly got in touch to offer to represent me. I was a stay-at-home mother at the time, looking after two small children but with a burning ambition to be a published novelist. Carole took me on, sold my books around the world in sixteen languages, and raised me up from an inexperienced hopeful to a full-fledged internationally published writer. She was always there to further my interests, to fight in my corner, to advise, and to nurture. She believed passionately in my work—as she believed in all of her authors. I shall love and miss her always, yet I have a suspicion she will always be around. A closed door was never an obstacle to Carole. When faced with dilemmas, I often ask myself what she would do, and I find my solution.
