I'm so excited for you.<BR/><BR/>While I would have liked to have had mine in a real lighthouse, we don't have many of those around here. So a friend threw a brunch for me in her large estate home. We had great food, music, and eventually, me, reading a passage from the book. Afterward, everyone got up and stood in line to buy it (and some copies of my backlist books) - it was a hoot but nothing as grand as you are planning. <BR/><BR/>Your plans sound dead-on. The only thing you could add would be a corpse. LOL.<BR/><BR/>Anne<BR/>http://beacon-street.blogspot.comPam Riplinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727387457891576143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973117169323556846.post-43310183571568663302009-03-10T12:50:00.000-07:002009-03-10T12:50:00.000-07:00I agree, the location for the party is perfect! If...I agree, the location for the party is perfect! If you were NOT hosting it, what would make YOU walk away at the end of the party with a big smile on your face? The celebration is all about you and your great achievement...but I also know you want people to come and have, as you mentioned, fun! That will involve them feeling...<BR/>involved! So, if you were a guest, what would make you happy? What would make you feel special and appreciated for showing up.<BR/><BR/>I ramble, but maybe it will trigger a thought?!?!?<BR/><BR/>Diana<BR/>http://basicblackblog.blogspot.com<BR/>http://woofersclub.blogspot.comDiana Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177915857090560626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973117169323556846.post-17929413683309855252009-03-09T18:21:00.000-07:002009-03-09T18:21:00.000-07:00I think the idea of using a place in your novel fo...I think the idea of using a place in your novel for your party is a fabulous idea. <BR/><BR/>I would love to hear comments on what others have done for their launch party as well.
