Tuesday, February 4th was a day that will go down in my history as TREMENDOUS!
All of my nervous "what if's" were laid to rest when our front door opened at 4:00pm and the first guests arrived for my Big Birthday Book Signing Bash. Our home quickly filled to overflowing with 40+ people who were all there to congratulate me (little old me!) on the publication of my very first book! I was stunned and joyous that my friends and family had gathered together to have a piece of pie and cup of coffee and visit with one another as I happily signed book after book after book!
I met new neighbors, hugged old friends and family, learned things I didn't know about those who surround me every single day, and simply enjoyed hearing everyone present having a good time.
There were some who were missing because of illness, but they sent me messages and called to wish me luck. The support of those in my world has been overwhelming. I am blessed.
Ana Fuller, my delightful cover girl, was well enough to join in the fun. Her daughter-in-law brought her over early so we could make her comfortable in a cushy, overstuffed chair where she remained for the entire evening, meeting and greeting folks who sat down to chat with her! She was thrilled to be asked to sign my book as well bookmarks and business cards (Ana's beautiful face graces them all)!
It was a lovely event, and I am so happy I did it! Now on to the next one!
Hello, can you please direct me to where to find any more of Ana's work? This is one of the only things I can find mentioning her anywhere.
