Firstly, I’d like to thank the 2010 snowfall that created a whopping great white Christmas over the UK, meaning I was stuck in New York with a rapidly out-dating tourist visa. Without those snowflakes, this story idea may never have been born.
I’d like to send a thanks and a mistletoey snog to all the Little Brownies, especially Manpreet With The Good Hair, Clara, Jennie, Marina, Rachel, Ella, Bekki and Liz.
Sleigh-riding over to Hardman & Swainson for a big thank you to Hannah, and a big WELCOME to baby Nell! And a lot of love and mince pies to be handed around to her wonderful, supportive, hilarious crew of authors, Fergie’s Angels, who I’m very lucky to be a part of.
As always, lashings of festive cheer to the book cheerleaders in my life; my friends and family, not limited to but including: Phil, Mum, Dad, Paul, Laura, Beth, Rosie, Mary, David, Robin, Jude, Eleanor, Peter, Kath, Liam, Katie, Ross, Corey, Emma, SJ, Sarah, Al, Ellie, Bethany, Nancy, Karen, Linda, Hannah and EX5.
Thank you to those who gave generously to Husband Phil who ran the 2016 London Marathon in aid of Children With Cancer: Rob & Sarah, Hannah CQ, David & Mary, my mum and dad, Paul & Laura, Robin and the gang, Ross & Katie, Ellie, Emma, Sarah, Mark, Isabella & Freddie, SJ, Linda, SarahLouise and Liz.
Special thank you and mention to Lara Pollard-Jones, who won a character named after her in a raffle to raise money for Parkinson’s UK, and to SarahLouise Tallack who has dedicated her heart and soul to fundraising for this charity. It’s an absolute pleasure to have you both be involved in my book, ladies.
And a big big big, stocking-full of thanks and love to YOU, for reading my book and spending a little bit of your Christmas with me. Happy Holidays and Mistletoe Kisses to all of you xxx
