Many thanks to the Choc Lit team for loving Emma as much as I do.

Thanks must go to my friends Rosemary and Cliff Brumfield for help with research and for introducing me to the wonders of the right-click button respectively.

My life would be poorer without the cyber support of Jan Wright and Jennie Bohnet – thanks, girls.

Brixham Writers, as always, provide excellent feedback – thank you one and all.

My husband, Roger, ate rather more takeaways than is probably good for a man to eat while I was working on EMMA, so a massive thank you to him for not moaning, not even once.

My son, James, and my daughter, Sarah, are hugely supportive of me, and it’s rare that their eyes glaze over when I’m talking about writing. Thanks, you two – you’re the best.
