      I would like to mention a few people here. My Mum, Lynda, and dad, Ron Ellis for encouraging me to write this book. My sister, Katheryn, and brother-in-law, Gareth Lewis, who have just given birth to twin boys. I would also like to mention my niece and two new nephews, Carys Gwen, Iwan, and Efan Lewis. Last but not least, I also wish to mention my two golden retriever dogs, Seth and Jake. While I wrote this book, these two helped me dearly by providing necessary distractions from the writing process by demanding regular long walks.
