I hope you enjoyed this book. I wrote it in 2001and it was published in Germany in 2006 after being sold in an auction between five German publishers. It was later made into a film which was one of the most exciting experiences of my life!
I would like to thank the following people for their help, advice and inspiration throughout the writing of this novel: Pam Brooks, Margaret James, Gilda O’Neill, Freda Lightfoot, Sue Haasler, and Jill Green.
Thanks also to my trusty team of readers: Clare Punchard, Hsin-Yi Hanna, Henriette Gyland, Giselle Green, Barbara Creed and Vaishali Tanna.
To Deborah Wright and Jilly Cooper for their endless encouragement and advice.
Heartfelt thanks to my mother and to Bridget Myhill who have been reading my stories since high school! And to my dad and my brother, Allan. Thanks, also, to Margaret Connelly, Heather Clark, Louise Nelson, Stephanie Polak, Margaret Fotheringham, Caroline Praed, Pia Tapper Fenton, Pat Walsh, Sue Moorcroft, Clare Donovan, Catriona Robb, Mags Wheeler, Wendy Lind, June Martin, and Dora and Emily Chan for believing I could do it, and to all at the Northern and London Chapters of the RNA for support and words of wisdom.
And I couldn’t possibly forget to thank Gene Kelly and Judy Garland who continue to inspire me with their magical musicals.
Most of all, I have to thank Roy for taking me in and marrying me and all my characters! This is for you…
