Thank you

YOU KNOW BY NOW HOW many people are involved in this, even in a crazy keep it all in-house thing like ours! Top of the list my amazing wife Cheryl, really without whom. She’s responsible for layout and for putting up with me. Then the kids, who inspire me and make me proud every day. To the editorial genius at Write Divas and especially Lauren Schmelz – thank you! To all the fantastic people who’ve inspired me to think I can: James Yarker and all the beautiful people at Stans Cafe Theatre, Paul Magrs, F. D. Lee, Chella Ramanan and all the folks at Taunton Writers Anon, especially Martine Ashe.

To the people who kept me going in the process: Little Bridge House Hospice, Swan UK, Claire Goodman, Musgrove Park Compass Team, Tina Hill-Art, Team Nenna, Emma Corless (and all the other Ainscough-Halliwell-Corlesses), Ali Bibby.

And lastly, not leastly, to my two inventors, who’ve made up two new words for use in this universe (and beyond) to Camilla Cole for ‘Kluff’ (that made the cut to this book) and Tina Hill-Art for ‘Fluppit’ (who’s going in the next one!)

And to you, for reading it and sharing it, thank you.
