Acknowledgments
A massive thank you to my publisher Bookouture, who helped me bring life at La Cour des Roses … well, to life! In particular, I would like to thank Oliver Rhodes for his faith in me, Natalie Butlin for all her dedication and hard work on my books, Kim Nash for her unerringly cheerful help with publicity, and my fellow Bookouture authors for their fabulous support and wicked sense of humour.
I wouldn’t know where to begin in thanking my family. You have offered wholehearted support and put up with my lengthy absences glued to my keyboard in the attic, my moods, my exhaustion, my laughter, my tears. I couldn’t have done this without you.
And while I’m on the subject of putting up with me, thank you to my close friends for allowing me to disappear for weeks on end, then listening so patiently to my ups and downs when we do get together!
A huge shout-out to the bloggers who have taken the time to read and review my books and spread the word. You are amazing and much appreciated.
And of course, most of all, a heartfelt thank you to my readers. You make it all worthwhile.
