ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A special thank-you to Sam, Tom, Grace, Tara, Jessica, Elisha, Fareeda, M.J., Bob, Jennie, Dan, and all the amazing people at Berkley Prime Crime and Penguin Random House who handle editing, design, publicity, copywriting, social media, bookstore sales, gift sales, production, and shipping. Heartfelt thanks as well to all the tea lovers, tea shop owners, book clubs, bookshop folks, librarians, reviewers, magazine editors and writers, websites, broadcasters, and bloggers who have enjoyed the Tea Shop Mysteries and helped spread the word. You are all so kind, and you help make this possible!

And I am forever (forever and a day!) filled with gratitude for you, my very special readers, who have embraced Theodosia, Drayton, Haley, Earl Grey, and the rest of the tea shop gang as friends and family. Thank you so much, and I promise you many more Tea Shop Mysteries!
