Acknowledgements
A great deal of work went into producing this book, and it would be remiss of me to mention those who played a part – big or small – in helping me see it through to the end.
As always, my wife Beth, who gave me the space to write when it was needed, even when her stomach rumbled for lunch! I’ll always be indebted to you for your encouragement and for allowing me to follow my heart and my dream.
My dedication at the front says it all, but Laura Ling, thanks again for sparing your time (and red ink!) in helping with the editing of the book. When I’ve strayed, you’ve kept me in check.
Paul and Lynne Cotton, my lab-rats this time around. Thank you for reading the early draft of the book and for your constructive feedback.
Sometimes, all that is needed to nurture an idea is a couple of pints of beer. Those times are usually had in the company of Darren Staff, a good friend who often lends an ear to entertain my imagination and weird sense of humour.
And to those of you who have taken a chance and bought this book. I always had you in mind when I first sat down to begin writing this series. I hope you enjoyed it. Please feel free to tell me by dropping me a line or leaving feedback on Goodreads.com, or any online forum for that matter. It’s always appreciated!
