The Consort Chronicles

I dedicate this story, and all my stories to the four people who inspire me and matter to me most.

Firstly, to my dearly departed brother, Timothy Robert Gray, commonly known to friends and family as Tim. You are always remembered and loved, big brother. No matter how old I'll get, I will be your baby sister, and there will NEVER be another brother, son, friend and person like you ever. (18/8/1982 ~ 2/12/2016)

Secondly, to my ever hardworking mother, who inspires me to work hard and to be persistent when it comes to my life, an absolute role model and hero to me when no one else was.

And lastly, to the two boys who took my mind off the darkest moments of my life, and instead replaced them with humour.

I thank you four from the bottom of my heart, you are the greatest and the most uniquely special supporters in every single thing I do and I thank you every single day.
