So, so many. Jeffrey Deaver, @meganeabbott, @JaneCaseyAuthor and Erin Kelly for early blurbs. @DoughtyLouise for generous advice. @kate_hamer for saving me from a strange man in the depths of Wales. @Anna_Mazz, @adibloom, @NeilBlackmo, @alixechristie for superb feedback. https://twitter.com/ErikaSwyler/status/1274823529813377025">https://twitter.com/ErikaSwyl...

@MarianneLevy, @sarah_l_steele and @CatcherSass for being generally brilliant and making the world a better place. @wordsofhelen for being a constant companion on this weird journey and for introducing me to @cbreenwilliams and to Niall Williams.

@ClareEPalmer for enormous kindness (and her cat). Many many others who I& #39;ve forgotten. I wouldn& #39;t be here without the strong and brilliant writer friends I& #39;ve made.

@nomad_sw18, who was my first real writer friend and who introduced me to my first writing group. @susanelderkinUK who has taught me more about writing than anyone else.

All of them were kind and helpful and encouraging for no other reason than they wanted to be https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♥️" title="Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Herz">

@emmray and @KateMcQuaile and V, who have been wonderful friends and mutual encouragers for 7 (!) years.
