The Boys' Club (29 page)

There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to my
adopted families: Dick, all the Hawes and Paddy; Gerri, Jess and
Jacques; the Beans, Mia, Jase, Jules, Luca, Coco and Remy; Jo (my
wing), Pat, Craig, etc.; my incredible UB and his much-missed Betty;
Nix and McKenney; the Lang family, especially my darlings Nettie
and Charlotte; Mark and Geoffrey (XX); and Rosscoe n@.

Thanks also to my incredible friends and mentors not already
mentioned above: Paula, Lisa W, Deborah and Robyn. And, of
course, Kathy, Candace, Angus, Petey, Col, Roxy, Margiepops,
Schippy, Kochie, Brook, Leigh, Stephen, Chantal, Cake, Jodes, Vic
and Farmer.

Last but by no means least, my wonderful agent Tara and everyone
at Random House for your encouragement and support, especially
Nikki, Larissa, Elizabeth and Jo.
