Michele Moran is just brilliant at bringing my books to life in audio format, so thanks to Michele and the team at the Audiobook Producers.
The writing community is very supportive of me and my work. Thank you to all who have listened to me, chatted and advised me, especially my fellow Bookouture authors.
Thank you to all the bloggers who give freely of their time to read and review and take part in blog tours. And to each reader who has posted reviews, I am so grateful.
My agent, Ger Nichol of The Book Bureau, works tirelessly, promoting my interests at home and abroad, along with her team of sub-agents. Thank you, Ger.
I wish to acknowledge the great work of libraries and their staff. Thanks also to local and national media, and bookstores.
Special thanks to Monica and Robin Parker.
Family is everything to me. Without that supportive network around me, I would not be able to pursue my writing dream. Thanks to my mother and father, William and Kathleen Ward, who have always believed in me. Thanks also to Lily Gibney and family. To my sisters Marie Brennan and Cathy Thornton, and my brother Gerard Ward, thank you.
My children, Aisling, Orla and Cathal, continue to surprise me with their determination and work ethic. As teenagers, they lost their dad to cancer, but now they are growing into superb young adults. I am so proud of you and thankful to have you in my life. Our family continues to grow. Daisy, Shay and Caitlyn have brought a new dimension to my world and filled it with love.
All the characters in my books are fictional, as is the town of Ragmullin, but real life has influenced my life and my writing.
Finally, I dedicate Tell Nobody to my friends. You know who you are and I am blessed to have such a wonderful bunch of people in my life.
