To the Avon massive; from every awesome member of the team to the authors that have welcomed me into their crew in such a kind way. I burst with pride at being part of what is without a doubt the tightest knit, most hardworking gang in publishing. Special note to Sabah Khan, obviously, because she is obscenely talented and none of us could function without her.
The same is true for my agent, Diana Beaumont. Diana, I may have been waving at you this time round over Zoom instead of across a table with extra mashed potato but your support has been felt keenly, as always. I hope we work together on many books to come. Hopefully then out of lockdown, with an extra big hug and an extra large wine. Thanks too to the rest of the Marjacq team, notably Sandra Sawicka and Leah Middleton.
To Luke, I need to take this opportunity to say that I’m sorry I gave the Through The Wall baddie your name. You are very definitely not a baddie. Now please let us still come and swim in your pool in Miami.
To everyone that supported my first book, from bloggers to reviewers to local book shops and radio stations; every kind word spurred me on to start again with a blank page for round two and write The Baby Group, even when a tiny bit tired with a newborn. So a huge thank you.
To my family, especially Mum, Dad and Gem for unending support, enthusiasm and (Gem) Facebook posts. To Grandad, I wish you’d been around for this. You’d have loved it.
And of course, thanks to Simon for entering into this parenting/ work tag team system of ours, which means that every week I get to write calmly at a laptop one minute and hurl myself around a baby group pretending to be a lion the next. These years are unique and non-stop and special and I would not change one tiny thing about them. Which brings me to my two incredible boys, whose smiling, generally food-covered faces put everything in the world – including book edits – into perspective. Thanks to the three of you for being my team.
