On Saturday, April 20, I had the first Unforgivable launch party that was open to the public. A sweet friend, my husband, and I set up the tables, arranged the food, and put up directions on where to go, and we were ready.

2:00. Time to start. One person arrived. I have to admit some nail-biting ensued. Fortunately, it didn’t last long. Soon the floods of people arrived and I began my talk at 2:15.

The trouble was that I hadn’t primed enough people to take photos. Photos didn’t happen until most people had already gone. I could surmise that my talk was just too engrossing. Yeah, we’ll go with that.

So, you’ll have to take my word for it that the event really did happen. And people really did enjoy it. And books really were sold!
