A special thank you to Jo Bartlett for her never-ending writing support. A huge thank you to the rest of The Write Romantics: Jackie Ladbury, Jessica Redland, Sharon Booth, Deirdre Palmer, Helen J Rolfe, Lynne Davidson, Alex Weston and Rachael Thomas. You are my writing tribe and I love you all.
Thank you to my dear friends Sam Thomas and Tina Sykes – having coffee with you is still the best therapy there is. You’re still in the book, sorry.
A huge thank you to my Wednesday night meditation ladies and gentleman: Helen, Jan, Val, Sam, Debbie, Tom, you are the highlight of my week and my life-savers. I still wouldn’t want to fall asleep in public anywhere else. If anyone is still reading this, I can’t recommend meditation enough.
I couldn’t not thank the staff at my local Costa Coffee shops. You girls and guys are amazing and always there when I need you; well, when I need my coffee and the cheery smiles that go with it. A huge thank you to the Drive Thru for hosting my monthly book club as well, you guys rock.
