April 23, 2010 was the book launch party for Longbourn’s Unexpected Matchmaker. Queen Anne Books in Seattle Washington was wonderful enough to host the official launch party. Tegan, my newest and greatest bookstore friend did such a fantastic job of preparing everything at the store. She had this wonderful table all set up with beautiful tablecloths and treats. The beautiful chair there is known as the Queens Chair becuase whenever an author visits they are the Queen Anne Books “Queen”.

Because I was also doing a reading Tegan had the podium set up with the signing announcement and another one of my signs. Isn’t it amazing to be able to see your name on a poster. I really think it is sureal.

One of the most fabulous part of having a book published is seeing the support of some of your dearest friends. Gen and Conan, were wonderful enough to make the drive to Seattle for the event and share in the joy of the evening with me.

Another part O love about book signings is meeting all of the other authors that come out to show their love and support for a fellow writer. June writes contemporary fiction and will be seeking publication in the future. June, if you read this I wish you success in your writing career.

On the way to the event we stopped at some beautiful gardens and took some photographs with my new dress and bonnet that I made. I posted a few of my favorites below.
