Yes, even my dog got an acknowledgement. This is what happens when you hit 40 and you don’t have kids – you namecheck a Jackahuahua.
My Bath Spa buddies, namely Lucy Christopher, Steve Voake, Jo Nadin and Sue Bailey-Sillick and all the BA and MA students I have had the pleasure of regaling with my writing advice that was all stolen from Kurt Vonnegut anyway.
I’d also like to thank all the bloggers, reviewers and murderous darlings who are still buying, borrowing or stealing Sweetpea and In Bloom and shouting the bad name of Rhiannon from the rooftops, namely: Ashlea Dunstan, Bookie Tracey, Brian C, Charlotte Lucy @ Books and Bargains, Chloe’s Reading Room, Emma @ Book Love Life, Em @ Faffing At Life, Gaby @ GNTxReads, Gem Loves Books, Jade @ Best Books to Get Buried In, Jen @ PrettyMachine, Jessica @ llanaReadsBooks, Joanne Easton, Karen JK Hart, Karen’s Reads, Kayleigh @ Once Upon a Thrillerl, Kayleigh’s Reading Corner, Killer Reads, Kirsty @ Kirst Edition, Laura’s Book Corner, Lucinda Is Reading, Melanie’s Reads, Mia @ Turning A Page, My Bookish Life, Rebecca @ Bookworm Rebs, Sara @ My Bookworm Life, Sarah Hardy, Sarah Jane Huntington, Shona Louise blog, Sophie @ So Little Time for Books, Soph’s Bookshelf, Terri and Catherine @ Haribo Reads, The World of Sophie, Tracey Gibson @ Tea Please, Tracy Fenton @ Compulsive Readers, Victoria Loves Books, What Ella Reads, What Victoria Read, Zooloo’s Book Diary.
Consider yourselves ALL off The List.
Thank you again all for your hard work, support, enthusiasm and/or time in helping me to bring Sweetpea, In Bloom and Dead Head to life. It is massively appreciated more than mere words can say.

Make sure you’ve read the rest of the Sweetpea series featuring everyone’s favourite girl next door serial-killer, Rhiannon Lewis.
Book 1
Although her childhood was haunted by a famous crime, Rhiannon’s life is normal now that her celebrity has dwindled. By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying. By even she dutifully listens to her friend’s plans for marriage and babies whilst secretly making a list. A kill list.
From the man on the Lidl checkout who always mishandles her apples, to the driver who cuts her off on her way to work, to the people who have got it coming, Rhiannon’s ready to get her revenge.
Because the girls everyone overlooks might be able to get away with murder …
