What an evening last night, celebrating the paperback launch of WHEN THE WORLD FELL SILENT with an event at the Halifax Public Library (Central)! My heart is so full. Thank you to my co-host, BR Myers, who is simply the loveliest person and who surprised me with release day flowers (her new book is out August 20, preorder it. I finished it yesterday and it’s amazing.). Thanks to Sue Slade who also had flowers for me (seriously, these two women had me nearly crying but I didn’t want to run my mascara) and took photos. Friends Sylvia and Nancy who came to show their support, and Katie Ingram, author of Breaking Disaster – one of my research books! The Halifax Public Libraries staff who did such a lovely job setting up for the event, Bookmark II for creating a gorgeous sales table for our books, and all the people who came out, asked questions, and stayed to chat. I could not have asked for a better evening to kick off this book and this part of the journey.
