Authors notes: Some thanks!
Firstly, to my brilliant Police (now former Police) Adviser – Andrew -
for all the technical bits in this series. Without his patience with my annoying
questions of "…what would the Police involvement be… how would
you guys handle ‘this’ situation…." etc. since I started writing
BH fic.
Despite the fact that he may never read this – Thanks Andrew. You are
brilliant!
Secondly, to every single person who has given me feedback over the many months since this
series first hit your inbox. Thanks for your praise and encouragement to continue.
I began writing this in April 1999, (in planning for months before that as well) prior to
even being on the net, so this has been a long journey for me. Now January 2000 it is
finally finished. I am going to miss my new players, they have become so familiar to
me like old friends.
But all things come to an end eventually.
Disclaimer:
The usual, necessary garb (not that I’m worth anyone taking any legal action – you’d understand if you saw my bank balance - if I had one!). Any names, places etc., that you recognise belong to the brilliant Hal McElroy, Southern Star, Seven Network and their amazing array of talented script writers whose words we consume every episode. Without their creativity, our ability to write as we do would be impossible. Thank your own particular faith that they believe Australian drama has a place amongst the endless fodder of overseas programming television networks schedule every week. We should all vocally support them.. (There endth my sermon)
Obviously people or places that are completely unfamiliar, belong
to me and my highly fertile imagination.
THEY’RE MINE, ……..ALL MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
