Today, I have some important thank-you’s to make.

Firstly to my wonderful agent who I love to bits, who has kept the faith with me through all kinds of ups and downs. I never feel like I’m on this journey alone with her at my side. Love you big time Tara!

To Jarek Kubicki, who was ABSOLUTELY amazing and generous, making his covers available to me. I think you will all agree that they are quite exceptional and worthy of many awards. I love Jarek’s art and I hope he has a splendid, successful career. Please take the time to browse his Deviant Art website and experience his genius. Jarek also has a store where you can buy the images from the covers for your t-shirts and coffee mugs etc.

To Yunyu, for making her song available to share with the Night Creatures VIP’s. And for writing Angel Arias for me. What a beautiful, haunting, special song! What a special talent she is!

To the VIP club for spreading the love, and then for spreading MORE love when we rebooted the covers. Gigantic squeezy hugs to you all.

To my team, who put up with endless emails from me. I hope you’re having fun?! Love you all.

For all my friends on FB, Twitter etc who have helped me along the way by sharing news and putting up with my endless retweets and posts.

Well what a journey this has been! Seven years to write, three years to see it available every where! I SO hope you enjoy it.
