My heart is still full of joy from my book signing party on Friday, November 11. 30 people attended, including part of my family from Anaheim, California (a total surprise!). My friend Scott Thomas helped set up and sell books, and his family came and delayed a birthday dinner for one of his kids so they could stay for the talk. My husband Jeff helped in so many ways and videotaped the talk. Exposed Studio & Gallery was the perfect place to hold the event!
Thanks to everyone who came! I genuinely appreciate the outpouring of interest and support.
If you weren’t able to attend the event, here’s the video. You’ll have to provide your own wine and hors d’oeuvres.
Here are some photos from the event. Click on any photo to enlarge it and enter slideshow mode.

Me, with Exposed Studio & Gallery owner Gregg Edelman. I thought I was supposed to bring food and Gregg thought he was supposed to. So we had twice as much food! Good thing... a lot of it got eaten.

I read an excerpt from Instant Adult that introduced the characters.

I couldn't have done it without my husband Jeff and my good friend Scott, who helped with the set-up, selling books, and videography.
