A Night to Remember for Grave Refrain and me

Truly a Night to Remember.

It was a fantastic turnout at Book Shop West Portal on the evening of April 5th.  Surreal moment looking out at the audience filled with friends from school, the hood, and St. Aidan's, plus many interested folks wondering why the shop was so packed!  Thanks to all who came to show their love and support.  I believe the shop ran out of chairs!  And special thanks to Neil Sofman, owner of BookShop West Portal -- he is tremendous---a true supporter of writers, especially the starving ones!

Greeting folks on their way in.  Most common question, "Are you the model on the cover of the book?"  Answer:  I wish.

Two readings:  the beginning of Chapter One and the Columbarium scene. Tried to leave the curses out in front of the younger kids, but hell that's hard.  Taking questions from the audience. 

Sigining books!!

The party afterwards!  Stunning catering by the Jennings.  Oyster bar out back and my lovely girls doing what we do best.  And they dressed in 1930s and 1940s for the night---put Nora to shame. 

Thanks to everyone for making the night so magical.  I could not do it without your love and support.

What a decent bottle of chardonnay, a picture of Aaron Eckhart, and cabin fever wrought

Here's the scoop, ladies.  It's a three day weekend.  At some point, you will find your moment of Zen.  The kids will have wandered off, the husband/sig other/roomate will be doing Y/XX-chromosome things, life is good.  This story was originally published in The Summer Anthology Series. 

It's my gift to you.  It's free.  It's romantic.  It's escapism.  You deserve it for all the support you've given me in supporting Grave Refrain.  But most importantly, you deserve it because of all the day-in-day-out heavy lifting you do.  You keep the world going.

Much love,
Sarah

PS.  If you like this and haven't read Grave Refrain -- I've got the rest of your weekend lined up.  The first martini is on me.
