  This novel has had a very long gestation, and many people have helped and
  encouraged me along the way. I thank them all, but in particular Barry Scott
  at Transit Lounge for his generosity, and for being brave enough to go where
  no one else dared. Penelope Goodes for her professional, sensitive editing.
  Lindsay Barry for her patience in putting up with my dreams for far longer
  than anyone else. Merrin Cameron for her persistence in clearing so many
  blockages to publication. Dr. Leonie Naughton, my sometime muse, who sadly did
  not stay for the champagne. Bryan Keon-Cohen who is travelling the same path
  as me and always encourages. Most importantly, I wish to thank Elizabeth Orr,
  my favourite and most loyal reader, for her love and support, and for her
  endlessly perceptive, if frequently painful, criticisms.
