It's finally here. Book launch day. How does it feel after I've now published nine books? Pretty much as exciting and surreal as it always has. The book will finally be in the hands of not just reviewers but readers--the folks who actually plunk down money to buy books and read them for fun. Then some of them will write me an e-mail about it, or post a note on Amazon or somewhere, or tell a friend, or come up to me at an event and talk to me about it. In a way, life is finally breathed into it and it's a beautiful thing.
I always have a party when a new book comes out. I get my hair done and I wear a new outfit.
If you're in the Pasadena, California area, come out Tuesday, May 25 to Vroman's on Colorado Boulevard. The party starts at 6:30. At 7:00, I'll do a presentation and a reading.
I'm also doing a radio interview on Tuesday, May 25 at 7:35 am. It'll be on radio station AM 1290 KZSB in Santa Barbara and you can listen live on http://www.newspress.com/.
I have a bunch of other appearances scheduled. Stop by!
Happy reading, and let me know how you like Love Kills.
I hope to have time to drop by your party tonite, DE. However, I don't think I'll have time to get my hair done!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning a trip to the bookstore today, and LOVE KILLS is on my 'must buy' list.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the release!
Cafe, it was a delight to see you at the launch party. And the gift of macarons from Euro Pane was sublime! Confession: I ate one for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah! Happy reading!
How'd it go? (What did you wear?)
ReplyDeleteWhere were you last nite, PDP?? (I hope I don't sound like your hubby)
ReplyDeleteDE, your caterer was wunderful. Btw, do you know the food situation at your "other appearances"? Just curious.
Petrea, I wore a black and white mock wrap dress with red sandals. Photos coming! James MacPherson of Pasadena Now took a bunch. It was great of him to attend.
ReplyDeleteCafe, my caterer is Emma Petievich. If anyone wants her contact info, email me. She did a fabulous job. Fortunately, I was able to give the rest of the chocolate covered strawberries to a friend who's having an office party today.
