I’d like to say a huge thank you to Matt Bates, Head Fiction Buyer at WH Smith Travel for bringing my work to the attention of Choc Lit.

To all at Choc Lit for making sure my novel is the best it can be.

A special thank you to the Choc Lit Tasting Panel members - Sarah C, Olivia F, Isabelle, Carol N, Nicky S, Jennifer S, Linda Sp, Betty and Liz R.

And to my family, in particular my dogs, who warm my feet and my heart and wait patiently for walkies while I write.
