A Note from the Author
As in the first book about Wolowitz and Inkling, I have used a lot of my favorite Brooklyn locations but fictionalized them and rearranged space so my characters can walk from one place to another instead of taking the subway. Hank’s neighborhood is a combination of Park Slope, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens.
Big Round Pumpkin is inspired by the wonderful ice cream and amazing flavors at Blue Marble: www.bluemarbleicecream.com. Locke, Linderman, and Daley borrow their names from girls I know, but their characters are wholly imaginary. I thank the real girls for saying it was okay for me to invent freely. Likewise, Henry Kim. He won an auction for the chance to have his name in one of my books and was kind enough to let me invent the guy’s personality (even though it isn’t such a nice one).
Many thanks to Altebrando, Mlynowski, Kaplan, Sarver, Gamarra, Aukin & Aukin & Aukin, Bray, Rimas, Siniscalchi, Hinds, Verost, Lutz, Sun, and Bliss.
