To Maddy and Frannie: little pieces of you are in this book too.
To Dick, Tim and Marianne.
To Ange, Kath and Pete who lodged particular phrases in my head that have since been dislodged in Harriet Bright and the very big fright . And to Joey â for delegation, and so much else.
To all my friends.
To everyone at Pan Macmillan, with special thanks to Cate and Anna (my very wonderful publisher) who have been unstintingly enthusiastic about Harriet Bright; and to Bri and Ali for all their editorial input.
And, at last, to Mel â Harriet Brightâs frontline supporter and a creative champion who has made this book all and more than I ever imagined it could be. You are an inspiring and unique
