Celebrating Southern Style

First, I want to thank Lesia for posting a recipe on my regular blog day.  (You're the best, girl.  I appreciate you so much!)  Her gracious offer prevented me from tapping at the keys throughout the night.  Why?  Because we were at the BIGGEST partay to hit our area in a long time.

Monday evening, Lesia and I took part in a launch party for M.V. Freeman's debut release INCANDESCENT from Crimson Romance.  (M.V. Freeman will be guest blogging with us here tomorrow so we'll get to hear all about her writing and her debut then.)  But today I wanted to share with the blog what a wonderful time we had at M.V.'s launch party.

 
The ever gracious hostess, M.V.'s excitement lit up her home.  Her house buzzed with Baroque music to set the mood.  There were lights everywhere and a table prepared with delicious finger foods, flaming petit fours (care of moi), out of this world chocolate cupcakes (with creamy middles), Oreo chocolate bon bons (care of Veezer), cheese crackers (care of my mother), M.V.'s signature Apple PicaDeGallo, tortilla chips, assorted M&Ms and much, much more.  Oh, and I can't finish this post without including the various wine bottles and champagne too!!!
 
 
Yes, Lesia and I had a fabulous time helping M.V. ring in the birth of her debut book INCANDESCENT.  And M.V.'s two beautiful daughters provided an awesome tech crew too.  Darling daughter #1 provided M.V. a first-rate photographer, while Darling daughter #2 operated M.V.'s Facebook feed, the Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Books-A-Million feeds on a big flat-screen t.v.  All night long, because of this ingenius move, we were all able to watch M.V.'s book rise in the rankings, from 299,000 to 19,000 in just a few hours.  And what a fabulous experience it was to see a brand new book ignite Kindles and Nooks everywhere!

I'm very eager to get started on my pre-ordered copy of INCANDESCENT.  I have to finish my edits first, but INCANDESCENT will be my reward when I'm done.  A Russian Alpha hero who also happens to be a Tri-Elemental?  What's not to love?

How about you?  Do you like to read Urban Fantasy/Paranormal stories?

    What a GREAT night it was!!! We are so proud of M.V.'s accomplishments. Watching those numbers on the screen gave me goosebumps, for realz. I can't wait to hear from her tomorrow right here on this channel. :D I also think we need to say a big Thank You! to M.V. for training us on how to throw a launch party. She has inspired us to have many, many more. Mwuah! We love you M.V.! Can't wait to sink my mind into your book. <3
