I lost India, my beloved studio-mate Saturday, June 7th. I’m only now able to write about her. She was loved and maybe even a little spoiled. India was her mama’s baby but she spent the workday with me. Not only was she my work companion—as well as the official Studio 27B greeter—India made many cameo appearances in my books. I’ve compiled them here. There are probably more and I’ll add them as I find them.
Sleep well, my princess.
