Acknowledgements

First and foremost, I want to thank my family for their support, encouragement and belief. To my daughter I give endless thanks for inspiring me to be the best I can be, and for her gentle reminders that I need to step away from my laptop and back into reality so she can be fed and watered. To my team at Hillcrest Editing, thank you for all your hard work. I hate red pen. To my friends, thank you for your support and love. And finally, to my readers - those of you who are silent, and those of you who send tweets, comments, emails and general giddiness my way - your words and support mean more to me than you'll ever know, and even though it's weird and entirely inappropriate, if I could, I would hug every single one of you.

For Mary and Eric

The words to convey my immense gratitude have yet to be created.
