Acknowledgements
Writing a book can be a solitary experience, but producing a book is far from it,
and I know this one wouldn’t have happened but for these lovely people!
From Hay House UK, my gratitude to Diane Hill, Director of International Sales
and Operations, for championing the idea of adding Qabalah to the Basics series,
Commissioning Editor Amy Kiberd for making it a reality and Lizzie Henry for
her meticulous editing. And the wonderful team at Hay House, headed by
Michelle Pilley, Publisher and Managing Director. I am eternally grateful.
But writing any book is also about those days when you’re not feeling it and are
just gazing at the stars, waiting for divine intervention or a magic elf to do the
work for you. Sooner or later, one of those things happens. It happens quietly
and it happens through the humour of a text, the laughter over a cup of berry tea
and the unveiling of the nonsense of personality, and it happens through friends.
So, Andrew Stark, Lee Fadden and Lisa Lister, thank you for being divine and
intervening when I needed it most.
