Firstly and always most importantly, Mum, this line never changes because I’m always eternally grateful for your constant patience, support, encouragement, and for always believing in me. Thank you for always being there for me – I don’t know what I’d do without you. Love you lots!
I also want to give a big shout-out to some Facebook groups that have supported me tirelessly this year and are an absolute pleasure to be part of. If you’re looking for book-loving groups filled with readers who will be good for your soul (but terrible for your to-read list!) then I highly recommend joining The Friendly Book Community, Heidi Swain and Friends, Chick Lit and Prosecco, and The Socially Distanced Book Club. Thank you so much to all members and admins of these wonderful groups who put in so much effort to make little communities that are a joy to belong to!
The biggest thank you to an amazing author and one of my very best friends, Marie Landry. I look forward to talking to you every day. You never fail to make me laugh and feel loved, and you are always the highlight of my day! I love you more than I hate a certain moustache!
An extra special thank you to Bev for always writing lovely letters, always taking the time to ask about my writing, and for always being so encouraging and supportive and kind!
Thank you, Charlotte McFall, for always being a tireless cheerleader and one of the best friends I’ve ever had.
Thank you, Jayne Lloyd, for being a wonderful friend through good times and bad, and for the emails that always make me smile!
Bill, Toby, Cathie – thank you for always being supportive!
All the lovely authors, bloggers, and readers I know online. You’ve all been so supportive since the very first book, and I want to mention you all by name, but I know I’ll forget someone and I don’t want to leave anyone out, so to everyone I chat to on Twitter or Facebook – thank you.
Thank you to all the team at HQ and especially my fabulous editor, Belinda Toor, for always knowing exactly what each book needs!
And finally, a massive thank you to you for reading!
