Book releases can be life-long a learning process. Hopefully I did it with some finesse.
Last night 25 of my dearest friends joined me for a release party for my new novel, Blooming Justice. You know they are good friends when they take time out of an early Saturday evening to show up at a local pub and join you for appetizers and celebration. I sold out of my first batch of the book. Some cousins came in from Texas! (surprise!)
Blooming Justice released this week and I wanted to celebrate in style. I asked Callahan’s Pub to set up tables upstairs and put out some food – and the rest took care of itself. I saw some people I hadn’t seen in years and met some spouses of others I knew from my writing club. It was very exciting. Friends, relatives and avid readers came together to celebrate, and I went away happy and very tired. I can’t figure out why I’m so tired, I really didn’t do that much. It must have just been the excitement.
To see the work you, your critique group, and your editor put in for over a year now published in a bright shiny cover is a dream come true. And to celebrate that feat with friends and family made it even better. Now I have to finish the sequel!
Thank you so much to everyone who helped me celebrate.
What do you think of release parties for new books? Would you attend one?
It was fun! Thanks! I enjoyed meeting new people and visiting! The book looks great and success looks good on you my friend.
