The idea for Bring Me Sunshine came from a journey made by my friend and sister-in-law. Mary Woodward, this book exists because of you. Thanks so much.
Before embarking on the fictional journey, I went on a real cruise. It was all research – honestly. Thanks to the wonderful people on board the Trollfjord for answering all my questions and letting me in on some of the stuff the passengers don’t always get to see.
I also want to thank Clive and Maureen Willis for so generously sharing their experiences with me.
As always, my grateful thanks go out to my friends and fellow writers of the RNA who have always been there when I needed them. There are far too many of you to mention by name … but you know who you are and you know that I love you.
Thank you to the Choc Lit team who helped to make this the best book it could be. And also to the other authors who are friendly and supportive and such fun. It is a pleasure to be part of the family.
Last - but never least – my husband John, a tough and honest critic but always my strongest supporter. That’s just one of the reasons I love you.
