This book has been a labor of love.

I have probably started 11 books over the years and finished two maybe three, this story however, was a joy from start to finish. So much so that there are another three books to come.

Love, romance and life are never easy, and writing this from both points of view I hope will show how easy it is to misinterpret life!  There is a theme of music throughout the story, music makes my world turn in technicolor melody

In Rayne, I wanted to portray someone who was human and relatable. I wanted her to have the same insecurities that we all have, because we all have them. I wanted her to be a strong woman, who is at the top of her game and says, who, when and where. Connor was a dream to write, he is a cocktail of every man I have ever known. Good points and bad! I wanted him to be sexy but vulnerable without being weak and wet. I fell in love with them as we journeyed through and I hope you do to.

I want you to laugh, cry and shout, but mainly to enjoy. If all goes to plan, your appetite should be whet enough for Vantage Point…

There are a million thank you’s that I need to make so bear with caller...

Firstly, Faye, Amy, Vicky and Jacky. You have all had your parts to play! Listening to me go on, supporting me in helping the dream come to life, getting excited at cover designs with me and keeping me going! You are the very best.

My amazing family, My Sister who will always be my biggest critic but also my biggest fan. Knowing she would read this book, pushed me to produce something we can both be proud of. My mum and uncle who have been my cheerleaders, letting me roll ideas off them and squealing as much as I did when it became a book.

Mr M, who puts up with my drama daily, but loves me as much as I love him (which is a lot. A LOT) My daughters who have inspired me to follow my dreams – never give up girls, never let a NO define you, and always be the very best you that you can be.

Me Julies – to whom I dedicate this book. 4 or 5 years ago I shared a small body of work with this group of amazing women. We all met online at Bounty (due in July – hence Julie) and our children and friendships have grown over the years. The original idea for a story seemed so farfetched, I planned out a book that had one of us dying and her husband taking over her profile, I shared the idea with them, and we thought it would be great. A Julie would be on TV because it was going to be that good. We even mentioned going on This Morning. I was half way through writing it, when we lost our Danielle and I scrapped every line because there were too many similarities and losing a Julie fucking hurt. I therefore dedicate this to that group of weird, wonderful and beautiful women. Who are there to support, love, guide and make you giggle when you need it most. #doitforDani

My last dedication is to my very own Trent. You stepped up and stepped in. I owe you so much and if it takes me every day until my last breath, I will repay you. You are my best friend.

I am going to shut up now, so you can get to the story (that’s if you have even managed to read this far) I love you taking a chance on me and my story. Stick around for the ride. It’s only going to get better.
