The Girl Who Came Home - a Titanic Novel (40 page)

Thanks also to Michael Molloy and Pauline Barrett of The Addergoole Society who shared their Parish’s amazing stories with me through their website and through Pauline’s wonderful parish book ‘The Addergoole Titanic Story’ – all of which inspired me to write this book.

Many, many thanks to the amazingly talented Jim McDonald for allowing me to use his wonderful Titanic art for the cover.

Finally, thank you to my agent Sheila Crowley for listening patiently and calmly to my over-excited explanations about wanting to write a novel about Titanic, and encouraging me to go for it.
