Birmingham Friends

All those at Macmillan involved in the various stages of production and promotion – in particular my copy editor Penny Rendall and illustrator Gordon Crabb.
Belatedly and long overdue to my former editor Jane Wood.
Birmingham’s Tindal Street Fiction Group: Gaynor Arnold, Alan Beard, Julia Bell, Mike Coverson, Stuart Crees, Godfrey Featherstone, Barbara Holland, Alan Mahar, and Penny Rendall for their ongoing support and expertise.
Finally, and above all, my family: to John – and to Sam, Rachel, Katie and Rose. Thank you.
