What. A. Night. Wow.
I write stories in my pajamas, in my work clothes, at kitchen counters, in fast food restaurants, at kids’ birthday parties. I enter the country of my stories alone and find my characters there, and for months at a time, it’s just us and nobody else. It is a mind-blowing experience to celebrate the launch of a book in the company of so many kindred spirits. I’ll never forget it!
I only have time for a quickie post before I dash off. Here are just a few pictures to give you a window into this magical night. I’ll follow up this post with more pictures and dish about the party, but for now enjoy!
The Soho Gallery for Digital Art is an amazing space for a launch party. It’s intimate, warm, beautiful, and welcoming. Highly recommend!
My co-host, the fabulous and amazing Lucienne Diver, and her new release, ReVAMPED (Simon Flux)
Me and the absolutely wonderful Rachel Caine (I’m the one in the hat 
)
My publicist at Tor, the formidable Alexis Saarela
Lucienne and Glenn Haumann of ComicMix
Just a few of the supernatural minions of the SoHo Host Club — (scandalous photos of vampires to follow)….
Me and my wonderful husband aka The Technowizard
So many more pictures. Part II coming up once I get a moment to sort these photos!
