Texts from Mittens wouldn’t have been possible without the ongoing support of my friends at Catster.com, from where the column originated. Endless gratitude to you for taking a chance on Mitty!
Much gratitude to the Texts from Mittens online readers, whose love of a neurotic feline character and his wacky world make my heart sing. I love laughing with you every day!
Thank you to Jay Harris and his wild creativity skills for creating the initial Mittens digital image.
A lot of this craziness wouldn’t have been possible without the ongoing collaboration of Katy Herman, Kari Achenbach, and Kari, Darrell and Drake Osment: Your patience and willingness to set up and take endless (sometimes strange) photos is golden. And of course, lots of ear-scritches and head-butts to Bullet, Ivan and Bombur.
Thanks to Becca Hunt, my cat-crazy editor at Harlequin. You made the entire experience so extraordinarily fun and delightfully seamless. Thanks to Fiona Cunningham, whose contagious enthusiasm makes her the perfect digital marketing manager for Mittens.
Once again, my agent Sorche Fairbank of Fairbank Literary Representation and I teamed up to share ridiculous cat humor with the world. You continue to be the most fantastic partner any cat-loving writer could hope for, and the best agent ever! Not even kidding.
And, of course, thank you to my friends and family (human and feline), who constantly encourage me, love me and allow me to immerse myself in the world of Mittens. John, your patience and willingness to act excited about silly cat stuff (even when it’s maybe not that exciting) is award-worthy. You get some sort of husband award. I love you.
