‘So.’ She swallowed with a grimace, then curved her reluctant lips into a tight smile that didn’t reach her eyes. ‘I missed you too. Tell me about London.’
Acknowledgements
Thanks so much to Anja Dreyer, Theresa Mathison, Renee Turner, Jennifer Hogan, Mersedeh Badrian and Jo Henrickson for the reading, the smiles and the honesty. I love you all to pieces. You guys are amazing and I’m crazy-lucky to have you.
Ben, Lesley, Maia and Isaac Seldon, I would have gone completely insane last year if it wasn’t for you guys and our dodgy movie nights, the wonderful dinners and the fabulous chaos.
Liam and Carolyn Hare, thanks so much for the last minute rig stories. They were absolutely hilarious and I’m still trying to work out how to the put “the happy socks” into the plot of a book.
Sarah Fairhall and Carol George, you’re fantastic editors and it’s an absolute joy to work with you. Thanks so much for helping me whip Stephen into shape. (I’m pretty sure he liked it.)
If I’ve missed anyone, I’m terribly sorry. Feel free to let me know all about it at high volume and I’ll make you a cup of tea and give you a hug the next time we see each other.
About the Author
Georgina Penney first discovered romance novels when she was eleven and has been a fan of the genre ever since. It took her another eighteen years to finally sit in front of a keyboard and get something down on the page but that's alright, she was busy doing other things until then.
Some of those things included living in a ridiculous number of towns and cities in Australia before relocating overseas to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and presently, Brunei Darussalam.
In between all these travels, Georgina managed to learn to paint, get herself a Communication and Cultural Studies degree, study Psychotherapy and learn all about Hypnotherapy. In the early days she even managed to get on the IT roller coaster during the early noughties boom, inexplicably ending the ride by becoming the registrar of a massage and naturopathy college. There was also PhD in the mix there somewhere but moving to Saudi Arabia and rediscovering the bodice ripper fixed all that.
Today she lives with her wonderful husband, Tony in a wooden stilt house on the edge of the Bornean jungle along with a contrary stray cat named Milli Vanilli.
