Death Of A Nobody

And, waving one last time at the kitten, I smiled at Jonas Campbell, who still stared in wonder at the ring now placed on his finger, and let myself out.
THE END
Acknowledgements
Book two. You might think I’d be finished saying thank you, but I’ll never be done pointing out how fabulous people are, and how glad I am that they are part of my life.
So:
David / Dad / Ray / Anne-Marie / Sue / Steve / Hannah / Toby / Lilly / Luke I couldn’t live without you. Thanks for Love, laughs, and reality.
Veronica / Tony / Jason / Karen / Pat / Liz / Lee / And all the Fulham Massive: I wouldn’t be here without you. And neither, come to think of it, would half the punters in The Marq. Thank you for Love, support, and a place to stay.
Lauren Milne Henderson. Advice. Contacts. Prosecco. And a personal introduction to Lady Caroline, whose opening words: “Would you mind holding my asparagus, darling, only it’s bleaching the Vuitton,” left me speechless.
Justine Solomons / Julie Vince / Norma Curtis Writing as a business is hard. Having people who know this, and who still love the whole affair makes it so much less scary. Having them forgive you when you misspell their name first time out is another reason to love them.
Martin Walker. For Camel Love, The One About The Bank, and for reminding me that I’m worth the effort.
Kelly / Mark / Matthew Sheehan: Thanks for sunshine, smiles, cuddles, waves, pools, the Pacific Ocean, the Coromandel, beauty, barbecues, brilliant sunshine and Boggarch. Love you.
Warren and Carl. The BDC. Always there for me, and always ready to remind me that – whilst I may be a fucking genius – it’s my fucking round.
Torsten Lambrecht & Jens Boje: I promised you gays and cats, and I delivered. You owe me dinner.
Claudette Rich, for helping me find the passion.
John Barbour, for his insights into Nick’s behaviour.
David Bowie & Prince: Alive when I started, and dead when I finished. Your voices, your art, your brilliance, informed me, my world, and all the characters in it. Thank you for helping make me what I am.
Chris McVeigh. Mister Fahrenheit. Thank you for your honesty, passion, and integrity, and for reminding me to keep mine. I know you’ll probably get the lawyers on to me for saying this, but: You’re OK, and we’re better for having you around. Love ya, Big Guy!
