It would have been impossible for me to write this book without my years-long obsession with British television. From the early days of watching Masterpiece Theater with my mom to Top Gear (and now the Grand Tour) with my husband and, of course, the Great British Bake-off. Honorary mention goes to International House Hunters which is always a fascinating peek into the homes of other countries. I hope I captured the flavor of the language difference between the UK and America even though we both speak English.
A special shout-out to Claire Scott, Scotswoman and avid reader, who provided feedback on the proposal for A Highlander Walks into a Bar to make sure Alasdair Blackmoor was authentic sounding.
