Special thanks go, as always, to my brilliant agent Camilla Bolton at Darley Anderson. The best advocate an author could hope for – thank you for your continued support, dynamism and knowledge of the industry.
Thank you also to the booksellers, librarians, reviewers and festival organisers for getting my books out there onto shelves and into people’s hands.
And, of course, unending thanks to my husband Ross and my two daughters （the second will be arriving imminently） for everything else under the sun.
