Wishing you a very happy Christmas and a peaceful, worry-free new year.

And thank you to the people who’ve made my working life so happy this year – my wonderful and wise agent, Dot Lumley, who knows when to rein me back and when to let me fly; my equally wonderful and wise editor at M&B, Sheila Hodgson; the team at Breedon, Halsgrove and How To Books; my ‘research team’ who don’t mind me hijacking family days out as long as I buy chocolate cake, and especially my husband, who’s the most brilliant support ever; reviewers who’ve been so kind (especially Julie from Cataromance and Sandra from Romantic Times and the readers at eHarlequin); the judges of the RNA Romance Prize; the panel who drew up the shortlist for the East Anglian Book Awards; my fellow authors who’ve been there to celebrate the good times and give me a hug/pep talk when needed; and most of all to my readers, who’ve bought my books in the shops and borrowed them from libraries, then written to tell me how much you’ve enjoyed them.

Merry Christmas – and thank you – to you all. I couldn’t write without you.
