Well, who would have thought I would be writing another book during a lockdown! Whilst I have become adept at juggling the demands of the children and lockdown life, I am really looking forward to getting out and seeing people in the wild again and banking some observations for my next book.
First, thank you, Amanda Ridout, for your wonderful motivational emails throughout the end of 2020 into 2021. Thank you to you and all the Boldwood team for all their hard work – you really make us authors so proud to be published with you. Thank you, Nia Beynon, for the first few read-throughs of The Bridesmaid and for all your enthusiasm and work on the front cover. Thanks for stepping in when you did, Emily Ruston, and helping me give the characters more life. I am really looking forward to working with you from here on in.
Thank you, Rebecca Millar, for all your hard work on this book and The House Mate.
Big huge thanks to all the bloggers and in particular to Ali Edwards, aka The Sunday Feeling, for all the readalongs and shout outs on your stories. They are always such a joy to watch and you are a lovely human.
Thanks to my mum for the use of Taylor HQ when I needed to get away from the madness and for all the yummy food.
To all my sisters from other misters who I couldn’t have survived without and who have been rocks this last year. Frankie and Hannah, you are spectacular women. Mrs Nesbitt, I hope you are happy where you are. I look forward to the day we meet again.
Chris, I love you and the kids. Thanks for letting me lock myself away from you all to write.
