…since the release of Daisies Are Forever. But in a good, crazy kind of way. I hosted a book release party at my home. I made Lazy Daisy cake and Black Forest cupcakes to go along with the book theme (and cinnamon almonds and fruit salad for those of us who are GF). I decorated the house with daisies. My friend, who is a Mary Kay consultant, came and gave the ladies a satin hand treatment. And we had games and prize baskets and some Q & A time. I was so happy with the turn-out. It was a blast and I would do it again.

On Tuesday night, I had a Facebook release party on my author page. Shame on you if you didn’t attend that one. I had never hosted one and only been to one other, but things went so well. My fear was that no one would show up, but I had quite a few who participated. It turned out to be a lot of fun. I’ll probably do that again, too.

Earlier this week, I made a video to introduce you to the story behind the story of Daisies Are Forever. Here it is. Litfuse Publicity Group has been so great in helping me to do some of this marketing that I’m not very good at. I like the beginning and the end they put on this video.

 Oh, and I was shopping with my BFF  and we went into Barnes and Noble and just happened to spot this on the shelf. Who knew? (Then, when I turned my back and walked away, she moved it to the end cap for maximum exposure. You gotta love that girl!)

And this past Saturday, I spoke to about 60 women at a luncheon. It went really well, and I was so relieved. Alyssa came along with me and she and her friend played “He Leadeth Me”. It was beautiful.

Have you spotted Daisies Are Forever anywhere?
