A dream come true for me - my book launch is next week at Quail Ridge! [View all]

Last edited Wed Jan 28, 2015, 10:32 AM - Edit history (1)

If anyone is in the area, Wed Feb 4 at 7 PM at Quail Ridge Books (Wade Ave, Raleigh), the "official" launch event for my book will take place. Stop by and say hello!

I have to say that since Dec 4 - the day that the first copy of the book arrived on my front porch, everything has been quite surreal...and not likely to get any less so for the coming year. Such fun, though! One only gets to go through all that goes along with their first book once!

My rather crazy upcoming schedule is here - http://nctomatoman.weebly.com/ - scroll to the events
