Songbird (Songbird, #1) (59 page)
Publishing a book is never a solo effort, so there are a few people I would like to take a moment to thank.
Firstly, to my parents who always told me to do my best, and they would be proud of me whatever the outcome.
A massive thank you to Monica for encouraging me to put pen to paper, and all the brainstorming sessions......and all the laughs. Your support and advice have been priceless.
To Chris and Layla for putting up with my extended periods of writing, when I should have been spending time with you.
To Mel, thank you for your ideas, constant support and believing in my book.
To Sali for your constructive comments and excitement in seeing what comes next.
To Lauren for waving your magic editing wand and to Lindee and Emily, for turning my manuscript into a polished novel.
A massive thank you to Kelli, for letting me sleep on your couch and inspiring some of my characters.
And finally, thank you to anyone who was willing to give an unknown author a chance.
Lisa Edward is the author of Songbird; book 1 in the Songbird trilogy, and the novella Duty of Care which is published in the Forbidden Fruits Anthology Volume II.
While Lisa Edward has called Melbourne Australia home for her entire life, she has lived and worked in England, and travelled through most parts of Europe and the United States. She loves nothing more than spending time with her husband and beautiful daughter, or curling up into the early hours of the morning with a great novel. By day, Lisa works in the analytical IT field, so relishes the opportunity to foster her creative side through writing. Her deep appreciation for literature was nurtured from a young age, being taught to respect books and get lost in their stories. She enjoys reading honest and realistic novels that are relatable, thought provoking and leave a lasting impression. She can’t write without music playing, using the emotions from different songs to invoke those of her characters. Lisa takes inspiration from her own life experiences, the people around her and those she has met in her travels.
