Two of the worst possible things that could happen to a book event in Seattle happened on the day of the Be a Changemaker launch party: one of our major bridges was closed for construction, and the sun was shining! Still, an amazing number of ultra-dedicated friends and intrepid fans braved the traffic nightmare and willingly (or perhaps begrudgingly) sacrificed one of the last sunny Sundays we are likely to have for months. And I am oh-so-grateful to each and every one of them for it!
Many heartfelt thanks to everyone who came and to Secret Garden Book Shop for hosting. I’m generally not much of a party person, and I really dislike being the center of attention. (Those giant posters of my face were a surprise from my hubby… eek!) But every moment of that launch event was a treat, and the experience is something I’ll treasure for the rest of my life.

You are amazing. That is all!
Thanks, Amanda. So are you! 🙂
Congratulations, Laurie! Your launch looks like a fabulous success and a fun time. Wish I could have been there. So happy for you.
Thank you, Mary! I wish you could have been there, too. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon, though! 🙂
Congrats on your launch! I felt a lot like you. I was terrified I’d spell someone’s name wrong. A lot of writers prefer to be on the page, instead of in front of an audience – at least I do! 😉 Wishing you loads of success!
Thanks, Jennifer! Yes, on the page (where I can revise to my heart’s content and share when ready) is much preferred to on the stage! 🙂
