In the afternoon, Kate Murray of the Freckled Lion rented the building that had been the dorm for the Georgetown Boys. The kids arrived:
And they got their books signed:
After the student presentation, we went to the Freckled Lion. Here’s a photo of me with Philippe, who played Aram in the play,
and Kate Murray, bookseller extraordinaire:
And here’s a photo of me holding Rob Weston’s AMAZING Zorgamazoo, and Rob holding my Call Me Aram:
Note the crutches in the corner. I don’t recommend doing a book launch while on crutches, but authors will launch despite sleet and rain and snow and torn cartilage….
Wow!!!
Man, you’re fast getting these photos up! Looks like everyone was having a great time — wish I could have been there! And you, Marsha, look like you were feeling no pain (despite the crutches in the corner).
Congrats again on your gorgeous new book,
Deborah
Congratulations on finally getting the book launched. Marsha. Well, maybe one delay doesn’t merit “finally.” You’re looking great for a gimpy woman. No grimaces of pain. I hope that means you are less gimpy with every passing day.
Thanks
Very happy that our paths were able to cross. It was lovely to meet you, and thanks for twigging me to the story of Aram.
Rob
Congratulations, Marsha! Sorry about the crutches! BTW – you’re looking gorgeous these days (not that you weren’t before, if you know what I mean.)
Aww!! Look at all those smiley happy faces!!
Congratulations!
That is the coolest thing EVER to meet in the dorm where the Georgetown Boys stayed! And look at all those happy readers! Looks like a very successful book launch, delayed or no – and I second the comments that you look fabulous, Marsha. As always!
Hey take care of your legs your crazy cool thing!
And congrats on the launch. It looks like it was splendiferous!

Many congratulations, Marsha. Looks like everything was fabulous. (Are those regular crutches, or special Princess ones?) LOVED Call Me Aram – another beautiful story! Now, rest that knee …
Marsha! How exciting! I love the photos of all those kids holding your books!
