Acknowledgments

Ghosts of Winter was written over a time of transition in my life. As a result, there are very many people—friends and family—I would like to thank for your love and support, far too many to name you all here! I hope you know who you are and how heartfelt my gratitude is. Some of you have always been in my life, some of you I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in this last remarkable year. You help me create a world in which my imagination can be unleashed. Thank you.

There are some people I simply must mention by name:

Ruth, you worked as hard on Ghosts as I did. Thank you for every moment of your time and all of your amazingly skilled input. It is a privilege to work with you to make the best book we can and I consider myself incredibly lucky.

Radclyffe, thank you for being the inspiration and guide behind all that Bold Strokes Books is and will be, and for letting me live my writing dream.

Sheri, this cover is stunning. Thank you so much for making my book beautiful.

Lynda, thank you, your help with the yoga was invaluable!

And to everyone else at BSB too: the feeling of being part of a team is so incredibly special and my words only become that most magical of things—a book—because of you. Thank you.

Raych, I honestly don’t think this book would be what it is without you. Thank you for all the words we’ve shared.

Lindsey, writing can be a solitary thing. Sharing my lonesome writer’s world with you makes it less daunting and much more fun. Thank you!

And once more to those I haven’t named. I take no one for granted. Thank you.
