A huge thank you to Jayne Lloyd for being a wonderful friend through difficult times, who also gets full credit for inventing ‘Guess the Gadget’ and an extra big thank you for allowing my characters to play it! Thank you, Jayne!
Thank you, Charlotte McFall, for always being a tireless cheerleader and one of the best friends I’ve ever had.
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!
Bill, Toby, Cathie – thank you for always being supportive and enthusiastic!
The lovely and talented fellow HQ authors – I don’t know what I’d do without all of you!
All the lovely authors and bloggers 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.
And an extra big thank you to the Socially Distanced Book Club on Facebook too. This lovely group has adopted me this year and been nothing but supportive, loyal, and wonderful cheerleaders for all my books. They’ve made me giggle late into the night and run for cover whenever sequels are mentioned! Thank you, ladies!
The little writing group that doesn’t have a name – Sharon Sant, Sharon Atkinson, Dan Thompson, Jack Croxall, Holly Martin, Jane Yates. I can always turn to you guys!
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!
Letter to the reader
Dear reader,
Thank you so much for choosing The Wishing Tree Beside the Shore. I hope you enjoyed reading Fee and Ryan’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it, and hopefully you loved getting to escape to the seaside strawberry patch this summer!
I’ve always wanted to set a book in Wales, particularly around the South Wales Gower coastline, incorporating the beautiful beaches that I grew up visiting, and it was lovely to finally be able to do that! Obviously Lemmon Cove is fictional, but you’ll have to let me know if you catch any nods to real places!
If you enjoyed this story, please consider leaving a rating or review on Amazon. It only has to be a line or two, and it makes such a difference to helping other readers decide to pick up the book, and it would mean so much to me to know what you think! Did it make you smile, laugh, or cry? Did the residents’ antics make you giggle? Do you think you’d be any good at ‘Guess the Gadget’? I don’t think I would! What would you wish for if you could visit the seaside sycamore tree in the autumn and throw a helicopter seed from the cliff?
Thank you again for reading. If you want to get in touch, you can find me on Twitter – usually when I should be writing – @be_the_spark. I would love to hear from you!
Hope to see you again soon in a future book!
Lots of love,
Jaimie
