I wouldn’t even be published if it wasn’t for my wonderful and dynamic agent, Sheila Crowley at Curtis Brown. Sheila, you are a brilliant agent and I couldn’t do without you! I really do believe you are there for me and
only
me, because every time I need you, you appear like my fairy godmother and wave your magic wand and tell me I
can
go to the ball if I want to!
I’d also like to thank Katie McGowan and Rebecca Ritchie at Curtis Brown for all their hard work.
An enormous and big-hearted thank you to my fabulously effective team at Simon & Schuster. My commander-in-chief, Ian Chapman, my editor, Suzanne Baboneau, and their colleagues Clare Hey, James Horobin, Dawn Burnett, Hannah Corbett, Sara-Jade Virtue, Melissa Four, Ally Grant, Gill Richardson, Rumana Haider and Dominic Brendon. You are all talented, energetic and passionate about what you do and I can’t thank you enough for being the wind in my sails and pushing me so far!
