Many thanks to Georgia McBride for seeing something in Lifer and then in Temper. Your belief in these stories is so precious. Also to the rest of the team at Month9Books who’ve been so great to work with from edits to publicity and everyone in between. Special thanks to Ali McDonald who has given so much support. Having a book out there in the wild is a scary and wonderful thing. The fear is eased by the great readers who’ve contacted me about how much they loved Lifer. I wrote Temper for you guys. I would never have written a sci-fi book without the years I spent studying and learning in the lab. I was so lucky to work with amazing and brilliant people. Thank you in particular to Susan, Heather, Jason, Ula, the other PhD and Hons students and our supervisor Warren. My writing friends are the ones who get me through each day at the computer. It helps to know I’m not alone. Thank you to Ro who read Temper in an early draft and let me pick her medical as well as writing brains – anything wrong is all on me.
