       About the Publisher

      A big thank-you to my readers for insisting that I write this book. It is one I have wanted to write for some years, but it took my readers’ encouragement to make me find the time.

      My thanks – as always – to my editor Holly, my literary agent Andrew and to Carole, Vicky, Laura, Hannah, Virginia and all the team at HarperCollins. I certainly couldn’t have done it without you!

      I receive many emails asking for advice on writing, and many of those I’ve helped have gone on to publish their work.
