BIG NEWS

January 19, 2010

I HAVE A LAUNCH PARTY DATE, and you should mark your calendars if you're going to be anywhere near the area, because you're invited. YES, YOU! 

Oh, yowza! It's going to be MY LAUNCH PARTY, and OHMYGOD, have we been waiting for this, or what?

March 16th! TUESDAY! 

Bookshop West Portal, San Francisco. Time to be announced, keep your eye right here.

Will you drop a comment or email me if you think you might make it? I'd like to keep a (rough) headcount so I know how much cheese and crackers to buy.

And DUDES! There's going to be a kick-off at that party for a raffle giveaway that is SO COOL (that ALL y'all will be able to get in on afterward, whether you're there or not, don't worry), so you don't want to miss it if you can help it.

*

And hey, other places I'll be that I know about so far:

May 1st, Romantic Times, Columbus, OH

July 31st, RWA, Nashville, TN

I'm hoping for Rhinebeck or maybe even a pop-in at Maryland, but I can't say that either of those will happen. (But wouldn't it be cool if they did?)

And does anyone live in/near Boise? We're planning on coming through at the end of March to see the in-laws, and it would be great to set up a reading there… Hmmm?

WOOT!

    How exciting! I think I can make it as long as hubby’s schedule doesn’t change. ๐Ÿ™‚ Can’t wait!

    I will be there! And a Devin, probably. And I bet I could get my friend Tasha out to her beloved West Puddle.

    I’ll be there, possibly with my parents in tow. They’ll probably be into a knitting-themed romance novel, right?

    Oh, how I wish I were going to be in the Bay Area that day (or anytime soon, really, but I digress)! Best of luck, and I’ll watch eagerly to see if you’re going to be anywhere near me. So that I can go to your reading and tell people I know the author.

    How bout Denver (the Tattered Cover- indy book store- in Highland’s Ranch is next to a yarn shop) or Colorado Springs (the Barnes and Noble is where one of my knit grps meets every Monday morning and we have 4 nice LYSs in town including Table Rock Llamas where the Tues grp meets)? I’ll pick you up at the airport and even give you a bed complete with a friendly dog and cat.

    Love it! That’s one of my favorite bookstores! West Portal Ave is where Alec and I spent many hours in the indolent youth of our romance. Our proven recipe for an evening in love: gorge yourself on Roti’s flavorful Indian curries or Bursa’s succulent kebabs, wander hand-in-hand to the Empire theatre for an independent film, then hope to catch desert at Spiazzo.
    I wish I could make it to your party, but my responsibilities at the yarn store prevent me. Congratulations!

    Waaaa! Won’t be back in the U.S. until sometime in April. Still hope to see you when I’m in the Bay Area, though you’re a famous writer now and it’s going to be harder than ever to catch up with you. Go girl!
