Mum, this line is always the same because you’re always there for me. Thank you for the constant patience, support, encouragement, and for always believing in me. I don’t know what I’d do without you. Love you lots!
Extra special thanks to an amazing author and one of my very best friends, Marie Landry, for being wonderful in general and brightening up my life every day, and particularly in this book for sharing her love of Anne of Green Gables with me and letting me shamelessly borrow her gorgeous descriptions! Caru chi!
Bill, Toby, Cathie – thank you for always being supportive and enthusiastic!
An extra special thank-you to Bev for always asking about my writing, and being so caring, kind, encouraging, and for all the lovely letters – a bright spot during dark times!
Thank you, Charlotte McFall, for always being there for me, a tireless cheerleader and brilliant friend.
Thank you, Jayne Lloyd, for all the fantastic emails that make me smile, whatever the weather!
The lovely and talented fellow HQ authors – I don’t know what I’d do without all of you!
All the lovely authors and bloggers I know on Twitter. You’ve all been so supportive since the very first book, and I want to mention you all by name, but I know I’ll forget someone and I don’t want to leave anyone out, so to everyone I chat to on Twitter or Facebook – thank you.
The little writing group that doesn’t have a name – Sharon Sant, Sharon Atkinson, Dan Thompson, Jack Croxall, Holly Martin, Jane Yates. I can always turn to you guys!
Thank you to all the team at HQ and the two fabulous editors who worked on this book – Charlotte Mursell and Belinda Toor!
Thank you to all the friends and family who shared their favourite books with me for this project because I wanted to make sure that every book mentioned meant something to me or the people I love!
And finally, a massive thank-you to you for reading!
