A short note to record my thanks for Davina McLeod's editing of my second and third novels. Not only did her work tighten the stories, but she also offered encouragement at a time when I wondered about the advisability of what I was doing.

She's very good at both; helping to tighten work, and encouraging people.

She is indeed. I don't know too many writers who don't owe the most enormous debt of gratitude to the folk who pull our works on progress apart and help make them better books. I'd be totally stuffed without mine, I can never say enough good things about them.

Yep, I can echo this. Davina has been of estimable help to me in the early stages of a couple of my books. A very professional lady with an eagle eye for what works.

The name of the company is supposedly derived from Ahura Mazda, the transcendental God of Zoroastrianism. It is also said that Mazda coincides with the anglicized pronunciation of the founder's name, Jujiro Matsuda, who was interested in spirituality, and chose to rename it in honor of both his family and the Zoroastrians.[2] Mazda means "wisdom" in the Avestan language. However, in Japanese, the company has always been pronounced and spelled as "Matsuda" leading many to believe that Mazda is really just a poorly anglicized version of the founder's name.
