My editors, Martha Ashby in the UK and Pamela Dorman in the US, who took meticulous care of the book and brought insight, wisdom and good humour to the editorial process. My thanks also to their talented colleagues at HarperCollins and Penguin Random House respectively who were involved in designing, producing and raising awareness of the book. I am very fortunate to be in such good hands.
The Scottish Book Trust selected me to receive the Next Chapter Award which, amongst other things, allowed me to spend time writing and editing at Moniack Mhor Creative Writing Centre. I’m very grateful to both organisations.
My writers’ group, for constructive feedback, helpful discussion and good company.
George and Annie, for their generous hospitality and unstinting encouragement.
Finally, thanks to George Craig, Vicki Jarrett, Kirsty Mitchell and Philip Murnin. I’m very grateful for their supportive friendship, editorial insight and good humoured encouragement while I was writing (and not writing) this book.
