We owe a debt to so many for help and support on this book! Massive thanks go out to our fabulous editors, Shéa MacLeod and Meg DesCamp; to Markayla Blake of Covers in Color for giving us the covers of our dreams; to our wonderful beta readers—lyric apted, Lisa Leoni-Kinley, and Ann Turner; to Debbie, owner of Main Street Stamp and Stationary in downtown Tigard, OR, for giving us an all-access pass to her business (and for not laughing too loud—or calling the police—as we toured the store, exclaiming, “Oooh! You could kill somebody with this!”); to Maggie, owner of The Clockwork Rose Tea Emporium in downtown Beaverton, OR, and her husband Harold, who gave us a welcoming place to sip tea and laugh till our sides hurt. Support your local businesses!

From C.K.:

Crazy love and thanks to my personal cheerleaders Jessie Smith, Linda Mercury and her Charming Man, and the Retreat Beach Babes (my scrapbooking circle): Jen, Jan, Donna Lyn, Kim, Karen, and Anne. Nelle—you are an amazing partner in fictional crime.

From Nelle:

Love and appreciation to C.K. for being the inspiration for the Crafty Sleuth series (because she basically is Tash), and to my family—Jim, Hana, Nick, Ross, and Billy—for endless support.

And of course, from both of us, thanks to you, our readers, for accompanying us on this journey! Because of you, we can continue to do what we love!
