Bloodline (55 page)
Authors: Alan Gold
We could not have wished for a more engaged, insightful, or forward-thinking publisher than Simon & Schuster Australia. Endless thanks go to Lou Johnson, Larissa Edwards, Roberta Ivers, Anabel Pandiella, Greg Tilney, Kate Cubitt, and all the S&S team.
Of course, the greatest thanks of all go to my family for putting up with me, loving me, and catching me when I fall.
