I'd like to thank a few people who supported me during the writing of this book. First of all, my partner, Declan. He's been incredibly supportive and I couldn't ask for anyone better in my life. Paul Mckay was the first person I showed the book to and he even helped me write my bio, because for some reason I find writing about myself extremely difficult. And of course, I'd like to thank my parents. My dad has been patiently awaiting his print copy of the book, so hopefully, it's now pride of place on their coffee table.
