Another friend, Ruth Daly, has posted a photo-blog of my recent book launch for Ten Days in Summer. Ruth was my ‘official launch photographer.’ I’m lucky to have such friends.

Today, Susan Toy features Ten Days in Summer in her blog Reading Recommendations. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for a picture of me dressed goofily, for reasons I explain.

I am finally surfacing after my book launch on Tuesday evening. Ten Days in Summer got off to a roaring start. Many thanks to all of you who showed up or sent good wishes. I’m touched by your interest and support. Thank you, as well, to my long-time writer-friend, Shaun Hunter, for her great introduction and to Owl’s Nest Bookstore for hosting this wow event!

And one more thank-you to my writer-photographer-friend, Ruth Daly, for her photographs that make me look good.

“Would you mind if I take pictures of your launch and write a photo-blog?” Ruth asked.

“Uhhh,” I said. “That would be terrific.”

I’ll include more of Ruth’s photos in my next posts.

Hope to see you at today’s launch for my second novel, Ten Days in Summer at Owl’s Nest Bookstore.

Am I nervous?

Yes.

Tomorrow: Owl’s Nest Bookstore.

Six days until Owl’s Nest Bookstore. The long-term weather forecast says this spell of cold and snow should end in time for the book launch day. Hey Calgary weather, it’s March. The days are getting longer already.
