Love and respect as ever to all the Wilson, Meredith, Mortimore and Dupree families and to all my family, friends, colleagues and associates, in writing and outside of it. For help, inspiration and support, thanks to Shaun Herrington, Graeme Meredith, Jon Peters, Inigo Purcell, Lucy Radford, Kyly Wilson. For their love and patience, thanks to Sarah-Beth Gilbert and Cabaret Wilson.
