After teaching all day, then heading straight to my favorite coffee shop for this afternoon's GIANNA Z. launch party, and signing books for two hours straight...I am pretty much out of words tonight. Pictures will probably do a better job anyway, of capturing the brilliant fun and sheer joy of sharing this book launch with such amazing friends, colleagues, and students.

Thanks so, so much to everyone who stopped by today - it was an afternoon I'll never forget.

Two hours of book signing? Wow!

That cake is gorgeous--almost too pretty to eat (but at least you have a picture of it)!

Thanks, Christine! The cake was half chocolate & half vanilla - so happy that most of the leftover part was chocolate!

Me too - I hadn't seen that girl reading at the event, but my friend caught a photo of her. So cute!

I love the cake and the photo of a girl reading your book. Isn't that what it's all about?

What a great launch party! The girls had so much fun, and on the way home, were reading to each other: one would read a page, and then the other would read a page -- we enjoyed Gianni for MILES!

You did a great job, esp. with the reading: your passion for the story comes shining through :-)
