Book Launch!
There’s excitement around our house this week. Lucy Arlington‘s second book (Every Trick in the Book) is released today. My writing partner (Ellery Adams) and I will be having fun as we track the sales numbers on Amazon and Barnes&Noble for a few days, emailing back and forth when they fluctuate. Those two stats give us a good gauge on how the book is doing in the market. When Buried in a Book came out last February, it seemed that Ellery and I wrote more emails to one another in the span of one week than we did in a month while writing the book! When the numbers were exceptionally good, we succumbed and called long distance to celebrate together, especially when the book hit the New York Times list. Ellery, who has published several books, claimed that the launch week was so much more fun because there were two of us to experience the thrill together.
On Wednesday, I’ll be hosting a book launch party at my house. Friends and supporters will come for a glass of wine to toast the new book, get their copies signed, and to hang out with their favourite author. 
Joy is meant to be shared; it increases when more people experience it together. I’m delighted to have a book coming out today, but even more delighted to be able to experience the pleasure of its launch with friends and family.
