Black Powder

And not forgetting the fantastic Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators who helped set my story on the path to discovery and Rachel H., artist Alexis Snell and designer Steve Wells for the gorgeous cover – my story in a powder keg!
Lastly, and most important of all, my deepest love and gratitude to my very own special gardener and lovely husband, Steve, who has given me boundless supplies of light, oxygen and the all-important space in which to grow and to reach for the sky.
Finally, my wish for you, dear reader, is that my story brings you as much pleasure to read as it has brought me to write.
