Take Stock, Moby Dick Lovers

This post has nothing to do with Moby Dick, other than I embrace the fact that I'll never finish reading it. On the other hand, here are few things in life I do embrace, not in any particular order:

rock'n'roll

the delete key

the malleable mind

chocolate

fire

forgiveness

a well-placed kiss

leather on skin

true love

miracles

libido

tweezers

the power of words

my voice as a woman

lists

the constancy of change

Six-Word Memoir

"The book was better, they said."

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.
