As a writer I am dependent on so many people, and I’m grateful to have such a great team working with me.
It goes without saying that you, my readers, are hugely important, and you keep me motivated and eager to write more.
The Birthday is my eighth book published with Bookouture and I count myself extremely lucky to have their support and guidance. Special thanks must go to my ace editor, Lydia Vassar-Smith, to Leodora Dartington and to DeAndra Lupu, for keeping me on track and for giving me such good feedback. To everyone else from Bookouture who worked on The Birthday, a sincere thank you.
I’d like to give special mention to Kim Nash and Noelle Holton, who not only do a phenomenal job organising book tours and handling all media work, but also check up on us all to make sure we’re doing okay.
A sincere thank you to the bloggers involved on book tours, who give up their time freely to support us writers.
My hugely grateful thanks to fellow Bookouture authors: a unique bunch of supportive and talented individuals, who kept me sane again!
Once again, a genuine thank you to you, my readers, for reading my books and for staying in touch on social media. You are the reason I love writing so much.
