The authors herein are excited and pleased to be doubly celebrating this year both the 8th anniversary of Jixemitri and the 60th anniversary of Trixie Belden and the Secret of the Mansion.

We want to communally thank Cathy P for starting Jix eight years ago and express how much it means to us to be a part of such a terrific community of wonderful people from all over the world. We're also grateful for the opportunity to work on a fun, challenging project with a great team of writers, editors and graphic artists. Happy Jixaversary!!

And a special kudos to Julie Campbell for creating one of the most richly complex teenage detectives ever. You will never know how much you've given all of us by the gift of Trixie and her Bob Whites.

And to Trixie...thank you for bringing us all together to grow from strangers into a family of Bob Whites.

Sometimes, dreams really do come true. We're living proof of that.

Happy 60th anniversary! We mutual you!
