To Shaun,

My sounding board, and first beta reader. The one who

tries to change my ‘nonsense’ sentences into language

that everyone will hopefully understand, and the person

who is always brutally honest with what I have written.

Thank you for not being the stereotypical macho

male, but for being what is perfect for me!

Love you more.

To my mother Carole Wilde,

Because you had a belief in your own

family who I too grew to love.

Thanks for always trying to do the best you could

for us, for your sacrifices along the way.

Love you Mum.
