My sincere thanks go to The Dumfries and Galloway Standard, The Courier, The Nithsdale News (The Wee Paper), West Sound Radio, ITV Border Television, BBC Radio Scotland's 'Write Here Write Now' initiative, and also the bookshops which have sold my books and hosted my launches, Ottakers in Dumfries (now Waterstones), Angel's Portion and Thomas Tosh Bookshops, for all the generous support with my writing.
