Acknowledgements
Firstly I’d like to thank my agent Hannah Ferguson for believing in the Essex Girls books from the very start; I hope to continue working with you in future. I’d like to thank Caroline Hogg for her help and also my lovely new editor, Lydia Newhouse. I’d like to thank all the Avon team that have worked on both Essex Girls and Made in Essex. Becke Parker – thank you for helping to make the Essex Girls book launch a huge success! It’s a night I’ll never forget.
Thank you to everyone that read Essex Girls and contacted me to let me know they enjoyed it via Twitter/Facebook. You’ll never know how much your kind words mean and I’ve really appreciated the feedback! Keep it coming …
To my husband, Terry, for putting up with me when I’ve had deadlines and have been rather preoccupied; I’ll always be thankful for your endless cups of tea. You just need to learn how to cook now! Haha.
I’d like to thank all my friends and family for coming to see me at book signings and for spreading the word about my books! I’m truly grateful to you all.
My lovely friends Danielle, Claire and Carolyn; thanks for helping me out whenever I’ve asked and giving me suggestions. Shirley Harrison, you’re one of the funniest people I know and you’ve helped with lots of lines in the book; I’m sure you’ll have fun spotting them (again!). Last but not least, Becky Cooley; thanks for always being yourself, you gave me so many ideas for the characters and you may be from Kent, but you’re a true Essex girl at heart
About the Author
Laura Ziepe was born in Essex and has lived there for most of her life. She had a small part in the first series of The Only Way is Essex but decided a life in front of the cameras wasn’t really for her; she much preferred the dramas she could dream up on her laptop! When she’s not writing, she loves to read, travel, cook and spend time at home in Essex with her husband and two Chihuahuas, Dolly and Dusty.
