Harshini (46 page)
Then he forced himself up and looked around urgently, but it was as if R’shiel had never even been here. There was no sign of her.
Not even footprints in the sand.
Once again, I have quite a few people I’d like to thank for their help and support. Lyn Tranter from Australian Literary Management, Stephanie and everyone at HarperCollins Publishers Australia, Sarah Endacott from Edit or Die for editing and advice and patience.
I would also like to thank Debra Rae-Smith and Fiona McLennan, the whiz-kids of cyberspace at HarperCollins and Voyager Online, who have given me a great deal of support, and quite a few emailed suggestions, particularly in relation to Tarja’s fate, all of which I happily ignored…
I must again thank the awesomely talented Stephanie Pui-Mun Law for her wonderful covers, and the remarkable character sketches that she has provided for this series.
A special thank you, too, must go to Elle, Stephanie, Woody, Alison and Ryan, the gang from Whitley College, for their input, their friendship and their all-night proofreading session.
To my children, Amanda, Tracey (TJ) and David, my thanks for their support, their faith, the inspiration they have provided, and for making me feel that I haven’t completely failed as a mother.
And finally, to my good friend Harshini Bhoola: it’s been a long time coming, but this one’s for you.
