Peter Skrzynecki and The Plums of Spring  

I met Skrzynecki at the launch for The House of Youssef. I recognised the name as I was inscribing his copy and we made plans to catch up the following week.

It was during that catch-up that we discussed imagery, especially plums and spring.

That discussion was the basis for The Plums of Spring in Politica.

 I tend not to do acknowledgements but I love referencing people who have thrown a useful idea my way.

 My reference is usually found in the dedication.
