And with that, I suppose I should really end on the biggest thanks of all, to my lovely family. Andy, my ‘him-in-doors’, who has never questioned whether I could do this. Or if he did, he never let me once suspect that was the case. He is a top catch, we make a good team, and I love him very much… I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to buy him a boat though, which may or may not change his level of support. To our latest arrival, Olive: you won’t let me go far without you, which is fine, because why would I want to? And last, but by no means least, the kids, Harley and Maggie. You’ve both been published before me, and you are therefore my inspiration. I hope that one day, with this, you might be as proud of me as I am of you.

And to you, dear reader, if you got this far, thank you! And if you didn’t, that’s a shame… because I was just about to thank you, too.
