THE BOOK RELEASE PARTY WAS FANTASTIC!
We had a great turnout for the release party, with family, friends, and fellow church members all turning out and showing their suppport.

PERIL'S CYBER-BOOK LAUNCH PARTY
We had a lot of fun at my first Facebook party. Guests entered two give-aways, viewed the videos of my author interview and book reading, and commented on the character intereviews and other fun extras on my website, Fast Track Thrillers.

Today I received the very first copy of PERIL to come off the press! Ah, to hold a copy of my own book. It's hard to express the emotions that filled me as I pulled the book out of the package and flipped through the pages.
RECORDING A BOOK READING
My son, David, who was recording this, took my picture as I read Chapter 1 from PERIL in preparation for my Cyber-Book Release Party.
GETTING THE COVER
I was so excited to see the cover of PERIL; I was practically jumping up and down over how good it looks. OakTara's designers did a fantastic job!
