Acknowledgments

Once again, I have many people I need to thank: Barbara Poelle, who is not only an amazing agent, but one of the funniest people I know; Terri Bischoff, my very patient editor, who along with keeping me on track, stoically puts up with Linda Joffe Hull and my truly terrible ideas for cat-themed mystery titles, and Aimee Hix and me in general; Dan Brown, who kindly explained to me that not all scotch is created equal; Barbara Kiely, my international rebel of a mother-in-law, who always reads my drafts; Matt Kiely, my always amazing husband; and Jack, Elizabeth, and Pat, three of the greatest kids any parent could ask for. Thank you all!
