Proof of a Good Time

Liberty's Scrapbook Relaunch Party Sep. 13, 2022

A small crowd descended upon Sisters II Ice Cream parlor in Benson last evening, but not just for the yummy ice cream. It was the night of my book relaunch.

I was an overdressed, extremely nervous, hostess about to talk to the friendly faces around me. It took me awhile to relax, but as the evening continued, that's exactly what I did.

Thanks to everyone for calming me down as I read a portion of Chapter 2. I also discussed the hardest part of writing the book without risking a lawsuit. (Unfortunately, some of Liberty's funniest wisecracks had to be cut.) So far, I think I'm safe.

Thanks to Rose Cushing, who provided three Scentsy(TM) gifts to raffle off, as well as a pound cake. After all, you can't have ice cream without cake.  

Jai Russoniello was kind enough to bring a case of water; muchas gracias. Besides Jai, also attending were Judy and Bill Hewett, and Claudia Farr, whom I met through Triangle South Literacy Works. My colleagues at Triangle East Writers came out to support me: Evelyn Wood, Dot LaMotta, Rodney and Rose Cushing, and Julie Johnson. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone. I'm so glad y'all came and made the relaunch a success.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the venue, the camaraderie we shared, plus their free books (previous version 1.5), and cat-themed goody bags. The icing on the cake was that I sold a number of version 2.0. 
(Who else is hungry now?)
