A big heartfelt thank you to my agent, Selwa, who is always so patient and supportive of my endeavours, and to her wonderful stable of authors who inspire me every day — I won’t drop names, but you all know who you are.
Thanks also to my girlfriends, family and friends. I praise the universe for all of you! That equally applies to all my on-line friends and readers on the THC, Trazling and on the Traci Harding Fans and Trazling Facebook Pages — you all ensure I remain a gainfully employed author and I am so grateful for that.
I cannot close without thanking Stephanie Smith, my rock at HarperCollins Publishers Australia, and all the team, for the fifteen happy years we’ve worked together to present my stories to the world. What can I say … I love your work.
