In the words of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons – Oh, what a night!
All the ingredients were there as we celebrated the launch of Flight to Coorah Creek
There were books – mine and also those by fellow Choc Lit Author Beverley Eikli.

And even before the wine started flowing, the most important ingredient arrived – good friends (old and new – no sorry – not old… umm… long-known???).
Among them, many of my fellow Choc Lit authors.

The museum is spread over two floors – so there were two floors people who love books… talking non-stop… mostly about books.

Of course – there were those nervous moments as I prepared to read from the book. I had to do it twice – once up stairs and once down… I don’t think it was a disaster. Once of the guests tweeted me on her way home.. saying…. your reading made me want to read the book – AGAIN
Some people had come a long way for the event – which was a lovely compliment. It was a long journey home… but there was no concern about falling asleep…

So – thank you everyone who came along to make the evening so special for me. I will not soon forget the warmth of the atmosphere and all the well wishes..
OK – time now to get into writing book number 7…
