So we got the book – some very large elastic bands, 30 of my nearest and dearest and we launched that debut novel high up into the stratosphere!
Ok, Ok. So I went to a conference and met some great Librarians. These gals are great. They love books. They love sharing the buzz of reading books, and some of them even asked me to sign my book for them. I can’t wait to visit their schools and spread the word – reading is still cool.
Then team Black Dog and I made our way to one of Perth’s hip book cafe places – opened a few bottles of bubbly, and MAB said some lovely things about the book and my little contribution to the literary circle of life.
I got to meet a great young author called Shirley who is committed to publishing her first book soon.
My family and close mates got to purchase a copy of Mama’s Song and I wrote pithy comments in the front cover for them. It was great. I highly recommend the years of toiling away at the laptop, the self-doubt and fear of putting your heart and soul onto the page, all for a few hours of warmth and celebration. Ce’ magnifique.
