Acknowledgments
Well, here’s a conundrum… in the Dateline Zero series, it took me years to produce a new book so I had a lot of people to thank for each one. Now I’ve embraced the craziness of the caffeine-fuelled deadline and have this cracking idea for a series, I’m on track for my wild 2021 goal. Which means this book is being published only 3 months on the heels of the first book, The Society, so I have fewer people to mention here. The thanks are heartfelt, nonetheless, and I’m more grateful than I can say to have you along for the journey.
Huge thanks to my family – you are my world: Dave Guyler, Connor Guyler, Makenna Guyler and Kade Guyler, and to Adam Wilson and Natalie Wickenden (you’ve been enfolded into the Guylers now!). And a special thank you, Connor, for another outstanding cover!
To my street team – thank you so much for your beta reading and your feedback when I forget what I haven’t put on the page. I’m sure the readers thank you too when they’re not as confused as you were! Beverley Bishop, Katie Cooper, Deb Day, Makenna Guyler, Helen Hanna, a huge thank you to each of you for spreading the word.
For my lovely Connor
About the Author
Always being the new girl at nine schools on two continents was no fun at all so books became the only constant in Karen Guyler’s life, even if they didn’t help her get out of sports days. Now settled in Milton Keynes, England, Britain’s best kept secret, she juggles reading with writing, her children husband and dog – a much nicer mix! On mostly sunny days she’ll be trying to cajole her gorgeous dog out for a walk though has had to abandon the idea of dictating while walking because all the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘don’t do that’, ‘leave’, ‘come back’ played havoc with the characters’ lives.
She also teaches Creative Writing for Adult Education with lots of laughter in amongst the word wrangling and discovery.
