Authors: Olivia Goldsmith

Uptown Girl (33 page)

I'd also like to acknowledge the help and support of Val Hudson, Philip Gwyn Jones, David Young, Malcolm Edwards, Imogen Taylor, and my very dear friend Adrian Bourne.

I am sure I have inadvertently left out others who have been wonderfully kind. Your omission is not for lack of appreciation but for lack of functioning brain cells. Please forgive me and know that, despite my momentary lapse, you have my thanks.
