Thank you for reading my book – I hope you enjoyed it.
Although writing is seen as a solitary occupation, you wouldn’t be reading this book without the following people.
Firstly, thank you so much to Brian Clough for being a very patient alpha reader, copy editor, ideas sounding-board and all round support.
Also to the beta readers who gave me feedback on various drafts and extracts: Elin, Carole, Steph, Rick, Carol, Amy, Jackie, Nicola and Danielle. Please forgive me if I’ve forgotten anyone.
I’m immensely grateful to May Peterson for her insightful developmental editorial support and advice, as well as her flexibility. The book is a much stronger story because of her.
Thanks also to Jericho Writers for being such a friendly and supportive bunch, and giving me the confidence that it was possible to make this dream come true.
And finally (though I’m sure I must have left someone out), thank you so much to Thomas Brasch for taking a chance on helping me design a book cover. I hope I wasn’t the client from hell, but maybe I came close... For more of his stunning photography, visit https://thomasbrasch.com/
