ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Here I go again everyone!
There are so many special people who have been instrumental in making this happen for me.
A huge thank you to my editor Peternelle van Arsdale, Will Schwalbe, to Bob Miller, Ellen Archer, Beth Dickey, and the fantastic team at Hyperion for their constant support and belief in me.
Thank you:
Marianne Gunn O’Connor, super-agent and friend.
Mom, Dad, Georgina, Nicky, and Keano for your love, support, advice, laughter, friendship (and licks on the face!). We all make a great team!
David, for taking every step of this incredible journey with me. I share it all with you.
After the year that I’ve had, everyone near and dear to me deserves an even bigger thank you than ever. I’m lucky to be surrounded by such a huge support group, so special thanks to:
Fairy godmother Sarah, Olive, Enda, Rita and all the Kellys, all the Ahern family, Susana, Paula pea, Sarah-Jayne, Adrienne, Roel, Ryano & Sniff, Neil & Breda and the Keoghans, Jimmy & Rose, Lucy, Elaine & Joe, Gail, Eadaoin, Margaret, Gerald & Clodagh, Daithi & Brenda, Shane & Gillian, the Byrne family, Gallaghers Paul & Helen, Drew Reed, Vicki Satlow. My grandparents Olive, Raphael, Julia, and Con, who must be pressing magical buttons way, way up there.
Thank you God, I owe you (more than) one.
To everyone who has welcomed my books into their hearts. You’ve all put a smile on my face and a lump in my throat so I thank you with all my heart.
And finally, thank you Rosie Dunne, for nagging me all night, every night until your story was told.
