As always, my infinitely awesome family deserve a shout-out. Mum and Dad, I owe you: thank you for never reminding me of just how much. Tara and Autumn, Grandad, Louise, Charlie, Adrian, Veronique, Caroline, Dan, Vincent, Simon, Lesley, Romaine, Dixie, Lorraine, Ellen, Freya, Robin, Judith and Grandma – thanks for always cheering me on, even if it’s where I can’t see you.
And finally, to my readers: old and new. I hope you love the Valentine family as much as I do.
Thanks for coming on this adventure with me too.
