This Lovely City
Page 31
Any mistakes in this novel are my own and there are far fewer thanks to Jon Appleton and Laura Gerrard. The stunning cover design is thanks to Anna Morrison.
Thanks also to Douglas Richmond and the team at House of Anansi, this novel’s North American home.
I will be forever grateful for all that I learned on the MA Creative Writing at Birkbeck, University of London. Julia Bell, Toby Litt, Russell Celyn Jones, Jonathan Kemp and Colin Teevan: I learned invaluable insights through your classes, lectures and tutorials.
All of my friends have been incredibly supportive, for which I am forever thankful, but a few I must mention by name. Harriet Tyce and Maxine Mei Fung Chung, it took a while but we did it! Thanks for all the support and red wine (and gin) over the years. Jane Dumble for reading my first (unpublished) novel and not hating it.
Thanks also to the self-proclaimed Birkbeck #supergroup: Lou Kramskoy, Chris Newlove Horton, Anna Livia Ryan, Peter J Coles, Karen Clark, Ruth Ivo, Arhondia Stickney, Mari Vindis, Abi Dare, Carmel Shortall and Martin Phillips.
To the Pot Tea Posse, Nikki Metcalfe Dermott and Kat Liutai. What happens on tour stays on tour. Thank you for not getting mad when I insisted on bringing this novel on holiday to finish the latest draft.
Last but not least, Mum, Dad and Rob. You inspired and encourage me, even when I believed this may not be possible. I love you.
