The Mad British (35 page)

Instead of acknowledgments, I’d like to give out some awesome high-fives.

High-fives go to:

Santana and Miss G for helping to kick this book into high gear.

Sam Carter for editing my baby, and for being my rock when madness took over my ability to write.

The brilliantly talented guys at Far Escape Designs for designing a stylish and kooky book cover.

My family and friends for supporting me and for not judging my pyjama workdays, and for still finding me worthy of hanging around, even when I couldn’t be bothered to brush my hair. Also, thanks for feeding me when I was eating nothing but crackers.

And a huge high-five to all the great people who purchased and read The Mad British, and wrote reviews, and told me how much they dug it. You guys are the best supporters and you are the reason my dream is still alive. If any of you have a dream, go for it. Don’t let the dream killers persuade you otherwise.

To all the dream killers: Thanks for pushing me to prove you wrong. With wholehearted sincerity, I hope you find your dream as I have done.

Hated The Mad British? Did it make you skip pages and fall asleep? Or did you love it? And now you want to have babies with it? Either way, smack a review on Amazon so I know if I should slap or high-five myself. Thank you!

Hi, I’m Hera Leick.

I’m British and proud, and bloody love a good cup of English tea in the morning. I’m a fun-loving girl who tells stories about the fun side of romance; the kind of romance that I’m wishing for in the real world. Yes, I’m still looking for love. It could be you. . . I’m joking! Love lollies too much. I have an obsession with Jane Austen. She is my wonderland. My inspiration.

I will be adopting a shelter cat next year, who shall be named Cheshire, and
will
be trained.

The Mad British is my debut novel. With every book I write, I give the Hera Leick Promise. I will never weave into my stories: cheating; sex outside the main characters; sexual abuse; cliffhangars; years of separation; manwhores; and lastly my worst pet peeve, insta-love. If one sneaks in, I give you permission to shoot me. Please make note, however, guns are not legal in England.
