Laura Marney tries to do a good deed every day. Occasionally bad deeds do accidentally slip in, but there you go, nobody’s perfect. She is the author of four novels: this one and
No Wonder I Take a Drink, Only Strange People Go to Church
and
My Best Friend Has Issues
. She also writes short stories and drama for radio and the stage. She lives in Glasgow and holds a part-time post at Glasgow University.
Laura Marney gratefully acknowledges the support of the Scottish Arts Council when she was writing the first edition of this book. Without invaluable inspiration from the Inch High Private Eye and the Roly Poly Wannabe, this book could not have been written.
