Syosset reading wrap-up

Last night I had my reading at the Borders in Syosset, and I have to admit I had a great time. I was a little disappointed by who didn't come (promises unkept), but the good outweighs the bad, because there was such a touching mix of friends old and new. A group of my current friends and neighbors came, as well some old friends from college, high school and elementary school, and even a few new faces. All together, there were about 40 attendees, which felt very intimate compared to my Book Revue event. But ... there weren't enough chairs set up and I had to ask them to bring out more, which made me feel like the reading was a smash. Anyway, I was pretty relaxed, and I think it went well.

I made my husband promise to snap some shots that I could share here, and alas every one came out blurry. (Not sure if it's him or the camera.) Here goes ...

Here I am before the reading.
