I would like to thank Paddy Mary Stentiford who, from the other side of the world, painstakingly edited my novel with me through all its myriad drafts. I would also like to thank my sister Wendy Ealey who produced the cover design and interior typesetting, Rebecca Singh and my son Burnham Arlidge for painting the mountains and eerie moon and my father, Tim Ealey, for painting the moonlit forest. The front cover is a true family affair.
