Last night, fabulous independent bookstore A Great Good Place For Books hosted the book launch party for Pirate Vishnu. Thank you to the dozens of you who braved the rain to come to the party! Everyone who knows me knows I prefer the rain to sunny weather, so it was the perfect dark and stormy night to launch for my newest mystery.
The party was two days before the official book release day for Pirate Vishnu, so there's more celebrating to come this week!
To keep the formal part of the program entertaining, Juliet Blackwell interviewed me.
I love throwing a good party, so in keeping with the spirit of the book (set in Barbary Coast San Francisco and India), drinks included San Francisco craft beer and beer from India.
The giveaway for the evening was a pirate treasure including a pirate Scooby Doo.
Several Pens Fatales were in attendance.
One of my earliest critique readers made it as well!
As did far-flung friends.
I signed stock with the few books that remained at the end of the night -- and found myself realizing how strange it is that I now use industry terms like "signing stock" without thinking about it.
