"Maya Angelou dedicated I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings to: 'MY SON, GUY JOHNSON, AND ALL THE STRONG BLACK BIRDS OF PROMISE who defy the odds and gods and sing their songs.'  It is a dedication hard to beat, but perhaps it can inspire one of your own.  Who would you dedicate a book to and what would it say?"

If and when I write a novel, it would be dedicated...
"To Mr Jones, who read 'Jet and Pride' - God knows how many pages of tense-jumping prose about some horses.  And who then, after school, took the time to give me detailed feedback.  Not just 'Well done,' but proper help.  (Thank you.)"

PNCS will be dedicated...
"To Em - thank you for finally getting sick of my whingeing and pointing out to me that if I wanted to be a writer, I had to write something.  And thank you for, then, proving to me that I had at least 2 hours a week spare, and this equalled...eighteen (?) minutes a night.  So then, with that process, I finished the novella in a month."

Writer will be dedicated...
"To Matt, for reading stuff at the drop of a hat, and always being so positive (and I'm sure you're telling the absolute truth every time!), for being the artist of the book, and for passing on tales to me of all the people traumatised by this book.  YAY!  (Thank you.)"
