A big thank you to everyone at Thomas & Mercer, especially Emilie Marneur, for her passion and enthusiasm, and to the rest of the T&M team, especially Sana Chebaro, Neil Hart and Eoin Purcell.

Finally, we want to thank our readers on facebook.com/vossandedwards who are not at all like the fans in this book – though they can be as enthusiastic! Some names in this book were provided by members of that group, including Cassandra Oliver and Sandra Mangan, whose surname we borrowed. We would also like to thank Tracy Fenton and all the members of THE Book Group on Facebook for being such fun and keeping Mark’s ego in check.
