This book is dedicated, with great reluctance, to my editor, Nick Lake, because he is forcing me to.

Personally, I would have liked to include Gillie Russell and Michael Stearns who, along with Nick, really welcomed me into the publishing world with my first book.

Unfortunately, because Nick is now my sole editor, he has threatened to edit this dedication down to an unrecognisable mess of blacked-out lines, and so as a result this dedication is to him, and him alone.

Personally I think that this shows a staggering amount of Image Missing and , which proves that Nick is nothing but a with for , but hey, that’s just my personal opinion.

Here, Nick. You finally get a book dedicated to you.

Hope you’re Image Missing happy.

(Editor’s Note: Nick Lake is a great guy.)
