The Crunch Campaign (16 page)
Acknowledgements
A lot of people helped me turn my idea of a kids' advertising agency into a story, then into books. I need to thank them.
The people I worked with in advertising â their humour, daring, skill and creativity meant I was never at a loss for inspiration. Cheers.
Rebecca Sparrow, Mosquito Advertising's godmother. Who could have predicted a shot-in-the-dark email would lead to three novels and a precious friendship? I'm deeply grateful.
The team at UQP, particularly Kristina Schulz, Meredene Hill and Madonna Duffy, who made it clear why authors thank their publishers. Also editor extraordinaire Mark Macleod. You rock.
My friends, who tell me stories to make me laugh when my own stories are driving me crazy. Ta.
My family, whose encouragement was endless and support was real. They also served as a highly effective PR department. For everything, thanks.
And Jim, Ben, Annabel and Sally, who make everything worthwhile. I love you.
