Homeworking for me for the last week has included regular baking sessions in preparation for my book launch tomorrow.  I used to enjoy baking, but haven’t made a cake for years, mainly because having one in the house would be far too much temptation for a sweet-toothed homeworker like me.  So I’m out of practice and my right arm is aching from holding my old electric hand mixer upright in the bowl, but I have the satisfaction that comes from a freezer full of brownies and coffee cake.

As I’ve moved away from Cornwall, a lot of people who helped me with the book in many ways – my tutors and colleagues on the MA Prof Writing course at Falmouth and homeworkers who told me their stories – won’t be able to make it, so I’d like to acknowledge their part in the process.  I’ll raise a brownie to you all!
