About The Author

For Panda and Lucy who continue to be the light of my life, and for my cats, rabbits, mice and insects who teach me more about myself every day.

For Scuba, Olly, Elvis, Scratches-I, Patches, Biskit, Fudge & Panda-III, Pants et al. and Mouse who are gone, but of course never forgotten. We will think of you always.

For Karen Banfield who has the patience of a saint, and for Cheeky and Willow who always bring a smile to my face.

For Karen Towers, Diane Birch, Peta Clarke, Petria McGoldrick, Michelle Collis, Suzzanne Legge and Bianca Bartle who invested a lot into my wellbeing - thank you!

Finally, a big thank you to JN, AD, RW & SL, LM, CC et al. and anyone else who once made my life a living hell. Thank you for teaching me what I do not want to be in life. I forgive each and every one of you. We are done. You are out of my life forever.
