The launch party for BOUND went very well. The staff at Audrey’s were fantastic! They’d done up some posters and had them on the windows and a real table set up for signing. And they had a seperate area cleared and set up with chairs for everyone where I could speak or do a reading. When I talked to them on Tuesday, to see what I needed to do or if I should bring anything in, and they told me I’d be required to chat or do a reading, I admit it… I had a small panic attack.
After a while I calmed down by simply reminding myself that I can talk to anyone. Which is true. If there’s one thing that being a waitress/bartender has taught me, it’s how to talk to people. I picked a bit of BOUND to read out loud, (the start of chapter 2) but as I tried to read it out loud at home I realized that I couldn’t do it. Better to just talk. lol. The best thin was, where they had it set up for me to talk, there was a little podium so I felt almost liek I was behind the bar. And I blabbed!! LOL
‘There wasn’t a huge crowd, and about 3/4 of it was family and friends, but there were also several people who weren’t family or friends so I was quite thrilled with that. All in all, a Wednesday night downtown signing … I loved it! It really brought a lot home to me, and it was truly a celebration.
Thanks to everyone who came by, and to all of you who read my blog and show an interest in me and what I do. I truly appreciate it.
Congrats Sasha!!! I’m sure you did well. :)
