The biggest of thanks, the muchest of love, to the magnificent Katrina Rotgalve of The Old Hall Bookshop in Looe - perhaps the only bookshop in the world to stock every single one of my books! Special mention also to FlissZak for general aceness.

Author friends! (And anyone else who regularly uses Word) I strongly recommend that you follow the brilliant FlissZak, who is a wealth of invaluable tips and advice. She’s helped me get my head round some knotty issues a number of times (and also happens to be bloody lovely too)

I strongly recommend that you all read this. It’s only February, but I’ve a feeling it’s going to be my favourite book of 2024.
