And of course Rachel Smith. Naturally. Who’s still got my back.
Thank you to all my Penguin Teen on Tour companions for making being on the road a good time. And especially to Renée Ahdieh who is 50% responsible for coming up with the title for this book (specifically ‘The Fall’ part).
Over the pond, my thanks go to Roshani Chokshi, Jessica Cluess and Stephanie Garber, the best people to have at the other end of a text/email/DM in times of authorial trouble when you just need to talk it out.
And on my side of the pond, my thanks to my Author Partners in Writing/Crime/W(h)ine Samantha Shannon, Laure Eve, Cecilia Vinesse, Katherine Webber, Melinda Salisbury, Katy Birchall, Lisa Williamson and Non Pratt and many more I’m sure I’m forgetting. I’m sorry, I’ll buy you a drink.
And last but certainly not least, to all the booksellers who have put this series into a readers’ hands, the bloggers who have encouraged others to pick it up, and all the readers who have embraced Amani and the Rebellion. I can write all I like, but a story really needs to be read to become more than just my words, and so thank you all for bringing this one to life by cracking its spine.
