This book does not contain professional advice, on mental health, psychology, or on any subject whatsoever. It is not intended as a substitute for advice of any kind. If expert advice is needed, appropriate qualified professionals should be consulted. Except for stories from the author’s own life, this is a work of fiction. All names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Where stories are based on the author’s own life, names, identifying details, events and incidents have been changed, to protect the privacy of individuals, and also for entertainment purposes. The author gratefully acknowledges the creators of the following typefaces, which were used in the production of some artwork: ‘Euphoria Script’ and ‘Condiment’, available under the SIL Open Font Licence, and ‘Florante at Laura’ (“Nyek!”), ‘Quikhand’ (no named licence), ‘Belligerent Madness’ (Font Monkey) and ‘Drafting Table’ (paid licence). For Dad, who would have been very proud. And for Mum, who has selfishly given me more patience and love than I could ever repay, thus leaving me forever in her debt. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am lucky to have had the support of many wonderful people in taking this book from initial idea to completion. In no particular order, I’d like to publicly thank: Alasdair Dawson, Ellen Spaeth, Jon Matthias, Caitlin Watson, Tina Hannemann, Oscar Robson, Paul Dormand, Joshua Keel, Steph Pickerill, Pauline Potter, Lily Rattray and all the various Wrights and Hugheses. Many thanks to each of you for your encouragement, ideas, comments, corrections and general excellence. The fantastic cover and outlines for the chapter art are courtesy of the magnificently talented Tom Humberstone. Please don’t blame him for any of the dodgy illustrations I attempted myself. Thanks also to Glenn Thomas Davis, Ray Lardie (and all at the Puttytribe), Albert Johnson and John Rogers, who are always there to provide morale when hope fades. Special acknowledgements must go to Bob Ginger and Gemma Scott for their expert assistance in eliminating errors and ensuring that no sentence ever trailed off without … but seriously, despite all this hard work it is impossible to entirely avoid mistakes, and so I can only apologise in advance for any errors that have accidentally crept in, be they typographical, factual, or simply terrible jokes.[1] Walking On Custard & the Meaning of Life
