Yesterday was the launch of The Fortune Teller & I’m thrilled to have the book out into the world. Thank you for all the good wishes online and for everyone who came to the party & to Book Soup for hosting. It was a wonderful day. Here are a few pictures to share the evening.
Love the Wonder Woman poster looking down on the store!
I was tickled to pull into the lot and find this sign. A first.
Here is Jennifer from Book Soup – many thanks to her and the Book Soup team for being such wonderful hosts.
We put these balloons by the front door. Love that smiling Sun!
A view through the window on the street and then inside while I’m reading the first few pages of the book.
The book cookies were a hit & they did look like cards.
Here I am signing a book and wearing a bright yellow Tarot t-shirt with The Fool on the front. I couldn’t resist that t-shirt. In Tarot, The Fool marks the beginning of a journey and yesterday was definitely a beginning.
And here is Vanina, the wonderful tarot reader from The Green Man store in Hollywood who came to give everyone a reading. I had the chance to sit with her at the end of the night and she read my cards. If you’re in LA go see Vanina at The Green Man!
Cheers & many thanks! I hope you enjoy The Fortune Teller.
