  118. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

I also need to thank three awesome medics for their contributions. I wanted the memory loss to be grounded in as much fact as possible and could not have done that without you. Thank you to Dr Daniel Scott at Harrogate Hospital for introducing me to consultant neurologist Dr Rosaria Buccoliero. Our phone call gave me the confidence to write the story in my head. And then there was the wonderful Mr Ian Anderson, neurosurgeon at Leeds General Infirmary. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions so comprehensively and also for offering ideas on how today’s technology could be reimagined for a fictional world. You are impressive people and any errors made are mine and mine alone.

My wonderful family. Your support is hugely appreciated, as is your sarcasm, which keeps my feet on the ground. I hope I have made you proud.

My Ella. You are my world and you put all this nonsense into perspective. And no, you can’t read it until you’re older.

Finally, I cannot finish without thanking the brave servicemen and -women of the UK Armed Forces for all the humanitarian work you do for those in need around the world.
