Tall Story - Candy Gourlay [64]
The creators of The More the Manyer and Without Further Adieu for providing a field guide to barok English.
Letty Jimenez-Magsanoc and Eugenia D. Apostol – my writing heroes.
The writers who generously commented on my work in progress: Miriam Halahmy, Helen Peters, Paolo Romeo and Christine Vinall, as well as Malorie Blackman, Melvin Burgess, Kathleen Duey and Fiona Dunbar, for their support.
The kind folks at Caffé Nero in Highgate, who know that I like my Americano black with one shot, and that I like a tall glass of ice cubes with my soft drinks, whatever the season.
Fiona Dunbar for opening the door.
My Philippine publisher, Ramon Sunico, who found me on Facebook, and Frankie Joaquin Drogin, who brought us together.
Hilary Delamere, David Fickling, Bella Pearson and the denizens of DFB and Random House for making my dreams come true.
My mom, Cynthia Lopez Quimpo, who gave me a love of books, and my dad, Orlando Quimpo, who gave me patience.
