Book Launch

I told my sister yesterday that “release day” sounded like I was getting out of prison. So, I’m going to go with “book launch” instead. I’m glad I took off work since there was a lot going on behind the scenes. From the initial posting of info across social media to the book signing at night, a lot happened. I don’t know how successful it all was yet, but I do have a funny story about the evening event.

Hopefully this is one we can all laugh about later on. Let’s start by saying it was nice of my friends to have me at their pub to kick off the book. I’ve known these guys for about eight years and am grateful for the opportunity to launch the book there. I stayed for a couple of hours and sold all of two books: one to a family member who I’d originally planned on giving a free one to, and another copy to a person who wasn’t even there. My daughter had told her friend she’d get her a signed book. Other than that, we hung with our kids and enjoyed some dessert. It was good exposure but as we all know, people don’t go to the local pub to buy a book. Oh well, it was a fun day.
