The Family Across the Street by Nicole Trope

Acknowledgements

Thank you to Christina Demosthenous, who remains the most supportive, encouraging editor I have ever known. I look forward to her notes on every novel and I hear her voice in my head with each new book. Thanks to Victoria Blunden for the first edit that pushed this novel in the right direction and to DeAndra Lupu for her precise copyedit.

Also to Liz Hatherell for the proofread, Lauren Finger for editorial management and Lisa Brewster for the perfect cover.

To Sarah Hardy for all her work in publicity and the rest of the team at Bookouture, thank you for being such lovely, approachable people. I never have to worry about asking questions or sending an email. You really know how to make a writer feel supported.

I always have to thank my mother Hilary for being my first and last reader. I’ll always trust your judgement on whether or not a story works.

I have to mention my family, who celebrate each new novel and understand that the week before publication is always fraught. It will always be so – thanks for accepting that.

And once again thank you to those who read, review and blog about my work. Every review is appreciated.
