I’d like to thank my wonderful agent, Kate Burke from Diane Banks Associates, who had faith in me from the start. Your support and guidance has made all of this possible.
Thank you, too, to my fantastic editors, Emily Griffin and her team at Headline and Danielle Perez and her team at Berkley, for helping me create a better book. Your editorial comments and advice have been invaluable.
My online writing friends have made the whole experience of writing this book such fun. They’ve tirelessly read my drafts and been supportive and tactful about changes I should make. Special thanks go to Fiona Collins and Sam Gough in particular—I couldn’t have done it without your daily emails! Thanks, too, to the rest of the Mumsnet Creative Writing group. If any readers are wondering where they can find supportive writing friends, come along and meet new friends on the forum.
Thank you to my friends Richard Hill, Lorna Wood, and Chris Finnigan, who’ve put up with me talking about this book over the last year and given me so much encouragement.
And thank you to my brother, Martin, whose writing has inspired me. His is a name to watch for.
