Acknowledgements
Without fail I must first acknowledge the contribution to these books from my partner, Julie. Along with me she treats each book as the first journey and attacks the process with enthusiasm and often more confidence than me. Her patience and faith in me never wanes and neither does her willingness to help me through every part of the process. It must be said that although brutally honest at times she knows my capabilities better than I do and always finds a way to reach in and understand the vision in my mind and help me find the best way to get there. She is and will always be my partner in crime.
Thank you to my Mum and Dad who continue to spread the word proudly to anyone who will listen. And to my sister Lyn, her husband Clive and my nephews Matthew and Christopher for their support too.
Thank you to Amanda and Steve Nicol who support us in so many ways and to Kyle Nicol for book-spotting my books everywhere he goes.
I would like to thank the team at Bookouture for their continued enthusiasm for Kim Stone and her stories and especially to Oliver Rhodes who gave Kim Stone an opportunity to exist.
Special thanks to my editor, Claire Bord, whose patience and understanding was truly appreciated and her response to the book both delighted and reassured me. I think we did okay, lady, and I look forward to working on the next.
