Stalking Jack the Ripper (Stalking Jack the Ripper, #1)(94)
Early readers: Renée Ahdieh, A. G. Howard, and Leah Rae Miller, infinite thanks for your time and insight. Beta team extraordinaire: Kathy and Kelli Maniscalco and Ashlee Supinger, you’re the best. Critique partners Precy Larkins and Alex Villasante—my words and life are richer because of you. To Traci Chee, who, two weeks before Christmas, brainstormed like a complete badass—even though she was under her own deadline—and offered amazing notes and feedback. I’m thrilled to share this journey to publication with you. #goatwub to the goat posse who are the best writing group. The Sweet Sixteens—what a ride! To Stephanie Garber for being my BEA buddy—so happy we got to share the fun in Chicago. Dresses and comfy shoes forever!
Renée Ahdieh and Beth Revis, your blurbs made my life. Much love to you both!
Readers, book bloggers, librarians, booksellers, social media friends, and Ava + the Knights of Whitechapel: I owe you piles of gratitude for your incredible response! Thank you for rallying behind a scalpel-wielding girl who adores fancy dresses and justice for women. I’d pluck the stars from the skies for you.
Chris “Chri,” without your love and support this journey wouldn’t be nearly as sweet. Everything from my cat-lady tendency to my Stormtrooper dreams, floppy socks, and Shakespeare nerding-out are a little less weird because you get it. “Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move, Doubt truth to be a liar, / But never doubt I love.” It’s not hard to deduce that you’re the bestest-er-est in my book now and always. (Which is why I saved you for last.)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kerri Maniscalco grew up in a small town just outside of New York City, where her love of the arts was fostered from an early age. In her spare time she reads everything she can get her hands on, cooks all kinds of food with her family and friends, and drinks entirely too much tea while discussing life’s finer points with her cats. Stalking Jack the Ripper is her debut novel, and it incorporates her love of forensic science and unsolved history.
