Oh my goodness, last night seriously was one of the best nights of my life!
It was special because I officially launched my first book, A Compendium Of Collective Nouns, at my local independent bookshop. And it was a success! I'm really not sure how many people came - maybe 60 or 70? Lots of people bought books, people wanted me to sign them (exciting!) and there were speeches and lots of wine and good conversation!
My very talented writer/composer friend Joe did the honours and spoke about me and my book, officially launching it out into the world. Then I took to the mic (yes. I really did!) to thank everyone, babbled just a little bit (it was my Oscar moment after all!) and invited everyone to join me at the pub afterwards! I'm all class. But you knew that!
Seriously, I could not have been happier with how it all went down. My husband took a whole bunch of photos which are not downloaded yet but I will share some throughout the week. Which leads me to the next cool thing.......
Welcome to my Blog Tour!
Over the next week my book is travelling the blogosphere to a new location everyday! How exciting!!
Our first destination is Cassie Jene who writes a wonderful blog about nurturing a happy, creative and entrepreneurial life from Melbourne, Australia. So please, head on over to Cassie's blog to read her review of my book.
I'll leave you with Cassie for now but will be back tomorrow for our next stop on the tour....
See you there!
