Short form: Carousel Tides has been sent off into the world in style, and! I had a blast.
Photos follow.
We were on the top floor at the Sea View, and the views were spectacular:
As if this wasn’t enough fun, we had a party, too!
We had folks come up to Old Orchard Beach from such far-flung places as Alabama, Virginia, Maryland (by proxy), New York, Massachusetts, and South Portland. Jeanne at Beggar’s Ride was an elegant hostess, the buffet from Roma was to die for, I got to talk to a lot of people and signed bunches of books.
A success, by anyone’s accounting.
Home now, car unloaded, cats placated. Tired.
Thanks again to everyone who took time to come to the party — and a blessed Samhain to all.
I finished Carousel Tides last night! It made for great reading and gave me a break from my sick children. Hope you had a great time at the launch party and glad to see Steve is out of the hospital.
Best wishes to you from another fan from Alabama.
