Blog Introducing Ellie Hatcher and Mickey Haller Monday, June 29, 2009 Nope, no collaboration between me and Michael Connelly (shoot!). But I did have to share this photograph of new kittens Ellie Hatcher Spitzer (calico) and Mickey Haller Spitzer (orange tabby). They belong to my and Michael Connelly's mutual agent and his family (whose previous cats were Dave and Samantha). I'll confess that every time I look at Ellie and Mickey together, I'll be fantasizing about a book in which their fictional namesakes meet.
