Wow, What a Night and Winners!
So the launch party was awesome. And by awesome I mean humbling and exhausting and thrilling, and amazing. Barnes and Noble was very gracious as hosts and the manager told me it was the biggest event they'd had in three years. They were very pleased with the sales.
YAY for pleased bookstore managers!
What was really awesome was the amount of support from friends and family. It's really humbling to have the people you love stand behind you and support you when you have a reason to celebrate. It's fantastic to know they're celebrating with you and they're happy for your accomplishments. It was a great night. We talked, laughed, signed books, and had cheesecake.
THANK YOU everyone for your support in this new series. My goal is to make Hazzardous Universe shine like a star going supernova!
AND I was peer pressured into sushi with Howard Tayler because Kevin insists that sushi is best when eaten with Howard. Because of my negative notions of sushi, I strong-armed Jessica Day George into coming with. I don't want to be the only sushi novice in the group. Dan Willis joined us as well. I can honestly report it wasn't that bad (aside from the "dessert" that looked like a ripped out spinal cord). I think I'll even do it again sometime.
The winner of the blog, tweet, facebook mentions is . . .
PK HREZO!
Congratulations! You are the owner of a shiny MP3 Player and an even shinier, and much cooler, copy of Hazzardous Universe!
