First off, thank you to sassy cat supporters everywhere! I love to stay in touch with readers through my newsletter or on social media. Find ways to connect with me at jenniferjchow.com.
If you enjoyed M&M’s adventures, please leave a pawsitive review on Amazon and Goodreads. (Marshmallow says a steady diet of praise keeps his ego well fed.)
I’m blessed that Mimi got a chance to live out her Hollywoof dream and shine in mine. Special thanks to Lily Choi for the initial inspiration.
A huge thank-you to agent extraordinaire Jessica Faust for supporting me and other diverse writers. Props also to James McGowan for his hard work and to the rest of the BookEnds team, including Buford, the literary hound.
Revising under the professional eyes of Grace House and Martha Cipolla was an absolute pleasure—thank you for making insightful additions and smoothing out the story. Heartfelt gratitude to Angela Kim for her enthusiasm about this series. Much appreciation for the marketing and publicity efforts of Brittanie Black, Jessica Mangicaro, and Natalie Sellars. I continue to be amazed by Lindsey Tulloch and the whole publishing team at Berkley for their bookmaking magic.
Love to my extended family, particularly the Ngs, the Chows, and the Lims. Hugs to my critique group (Lisbeth Coiman, Robin Arehart, Sherry Berkin, and Tracey Dale), who keep my creative juices flowing. Sweet wishes to my sixth-grade teacher, Mrs. Okada, who delighted in my first mystery story.
Finally, I’m indebted to my husband, Steve, for believing in my dreams and helping me persevere. And to my kids, who tagged along on my research outings, including doggie readings and cat cafés.
