Читать книгу Crashed - Melinda Ferguson - Страница 5

To my darling sons James and Daniel who have lived through five books with me and the year of The Crash, and still love me. I adore you to the end of the universe and beyond.

Thank you my dear friends Val, Martine, Kate, Peta, Megan, Pumla and Daryl as well as my brother, Neil and sister, Joanne – for always seeing me through with love.

To my ex-colleagues Zama, Zinhle, Lerato, Mokgadi, Farrah, Refilwe, Thami – we went through some rough seas but sunshine days are upon us. You are always in my heart.

Kaya FM, Sagie Moodley and The Joy Ride, thank you for revving right by my side.

To all those in the motoring industry who gave me their much-needed love and support: Lesley Sutton, Denis Droppa, Ferrari at Viglietti Motors, Chanelle Zackey, Liana Reiners, Christo Valentyn, Aurelia Mbokazi, Mabuyane Kekane, Toni Herbst, Glen Hill, Rella Bernades, James Siddell, Tracey de Late, Minesh Bhagaloo, Megan McDonald, Shirle Greig, Andile Dlamini, Stuart Johnston, Joeline Dabrowski, Edward Makwana, Clynton Yon, Kerrie Roodt, Lindsey Pieterse, Adell de Vos, Tasneem Lorgat and anyone else I may have overlooked – thank you.

Bridget Impey and Maggie Davey – thank you for believing in me as a publisher and writer. I still sometimes pinch myself when I see my imprint logo on a book cover.

Thanks Sean Fraser for being a great editor – your eye was always on target.

Owen Blumberg, my amazing attorney who got me out of some very, very hectic places. Thank you thank you thank you.

Thank you to Lili and Nic for opening up your beautiful hearts to me.

Now for the Love of my Life, Mat. You have walked through this book, held my hand and my heart and on all the days I’ve misbehaved and tantrumed, been precious and stupidly “artistic” – you have been right at my side, word for word, page by page.

When I met you Nick Cave’s “Are you the one I’ve been waiting for?” kept playing wherever I went. I know for sure that each day that I wake up with you, that the answer is, yes.
