Blood, Love and Steel Toasted with Champagne, Friends

Without friends, family, and support, a book is a pile of paper covered in ink. It needs a community to succeed. Last night, my North Carolina community came out to celebrate my book's first months in the light. The evening brightened a few of the dark spots in the past six months and recharged me for continued challenges. Thanks to my dear friend Amy Monroe for taking the lead. The party wouldn't have happened without her.

A selfie with Amy.

We sold a few!

We toasted and nibbled.

Smiling because of great friends Kricket (L) and Michele.

Camera caught more than it should have.

Battery Park Book Exchange, excellent venue.
