Book launch party!

Yesterday was the book launch party! and what a party it was. About thirty friends turned up, we had a blast, and I could have sold far more than the ten copies I had on hand.

I was unfortunately so busy prepping for the party and chatting with people during the party that I didn’t take many photos, but here are a few.

There was the book, of course:

Master Your Craft with its author

And there were wonderful friends:

I made four kinds of fudge and a batch of caramels for the occasion (apparently well-appreciated):

The wine was provided by my brother’s winery (yes, my brother is a vintner!), and was pronounced excellent:

Of course, there were signed copies of the book:

And much fun was had by all.

Many thanks to everyone who came out to help me celebrate! It was a wonderful party.

And next? A marketing blitz, starting with the launch of my new business website! and a book signing at Convergence. Stay tuned…there is lots to come!
