The launch was lovely, and thank you for all the great ideas. You were all there in spirit!

Unfortunately, all I did was give a speech, so Gillian’s second option (if you exchange Spanx for big knickers) was really spot on.

Thanks again for all your kind words. Pictures will be forthcoming!

I’m obviously not the only one who immeditately thought of hitting the book with a champagne bottle and announcing the books launched in a poshe Brittish accent. But don’t use the Veuve. It’s a waste of good champers. Hit it with Yellow instead and save the Veuve for drinking.

Or, you could wear your best big knickers, get rather sozzled, and introduce yourself with inappropriate remarks, a la Bridget Jones.

The wall of books though, was a very cunning thought…

LOL I can just picture Jane being launched out of a cannon. Just wanted to let you know, she (in all her half-selkie goodness) “arrived” in my mailbox yesterday & as soon as I finish my pending reviews, I’ll be diving into TEMPEST RISING with both feet. SQUEE! I can hardly wait!!!

I’ve blogged, and I’ve asked the question closest to my heart: how does one launch a book? http://www.nicolepeeler.com/2009/10/coun...

So, how big of a wall to make? We have 18 days to get it right. Unveil the big wall the night before and run through it at 12:00.

Great ideas guys!!! Very inventive! I think my personal favorite is running through a wall of books like a Chicago Bull …

Since your character has a water thing, arrange a plunge of sorts. Have a bunch of people dress like her and jump into some frigid H2O. You could offer a signed book as incentive. It is bound to get some press and everyone will be chatting (or chattering) about it.

What do you think?
