A hearty thank-you to Sam, Tom, Amanda, Bob, Jennie, Danielle, and all the amazing people at Berkley Prime Crime and Penguin Random House who handle design, editing, publicity, copywriting, bookstore sales, and gift sales. Heartfelt thanks, too, to all the tea lovers, tea shop owners, bookshop folks, librarians, reviewers, magazine writers, websites, radio stations, and bloggers who have enjoyed the Tea Shop Mysteries and have helped to spread the word. You make it all possible!
And I am especially indebted to you, dear readers. You have embraced Theodosia, Drayton, Haley, Early Grey, and the rest of the tea shop gang as family. For that I am eternally grateful and pledge to bring you many more books.
