It's Launch Time!
Sirenz was released into the wild on June 8—but we waited until July to have our launch party, which took place on July 14, 2011—and it was a BLAST! We had a few extra special tricks up OUR toga for this celebration. Here's what happened...
5:45PM. Everything's in place:
The books — 100+ copies...
Mauricio delivers the cake (and gets ambushed by fans!)...
Buddy's team at Carlo's Bakery did a fantastic job on our cake. It looks JUST LIKE the book—only it tastes better!
3... 2... 1... It's 6PM—LAUNCH TIME!
It was so cool to see so many new and familiar faces—here we are with Co-bloggers Suzi Ryan and Suzy Ismail! Check out their amazing blog, A Tale of Two Suzis (http://www.ataleoftwosuzies.blogspot.com) !
Let them eat cake!
We hope that everyone who came to our launch had a great time—we did! Thanks to everyone—friends, family, authors, bloggers and readers—who came and showed their support, and for those who were there in spirit too! Mendham Books is a fab indie bookshop that hosted our launch party and they were AWESOME! Indie book stores LOVE authors—support them!
Special thanks to Darlene Fraulo and Suzi Ryan for the use of their photos :)
How awesome was that?! You had me at Mauricio... HEHE! The cake looked good to! :)
ReplyDeleteLooked like such a terrific time! You should be proud!
We had a blast! Poor Mauricio--he'd almost escaped--but then my cousins came and hauled him back into the store for photos. He was such a good sport!
