I was different because my debut was officially "out" - and my debut, just to mess with me, has the title The Moment Before.
In the novel - which is set in Portland, Oregon - there are several scenes that feature the iconic Voodoo Doughnut shop, so where did I stage my launch party? Yup.

Whereas Voodoo is clever and edgy, Blue Star is foodie and gourmet. And a bit more expensive. Their brand is quality forward, as opposed to Voodoo's hipster grunge.
For today's celebration I chose lemon poppy seed buttermilk, Mexican chocolate, blueberry basil, Maple bacon and my favorite, a lemon glazed cinnamon. And I'm not sorry.
What's your secret favorite indulgence?

Happy Book Birthday! I am a sucker for pie. And donuts. These look and sound amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think the secret to successful guilt-free indulgence is to fully own it. Fully. Own. It.
ReplyDeleteHappy Book Birthday to you Suzy.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a book it is.
Confession time — I actually had an extreme emotional reaction when I got to the end of your book. What a story. What an ending. The next day I wrote my first ever fan letter. Like a teenager. A young teenager. Didn't send it to you. Too embarrassing.
Hmmmm. If I sign in and post this I'll have to send it.
Hmmmm.
I can't actually remember what it said.
Hmmmm.
I'll send it next month.
But what a book. Thank you for writing it.
Extreme emotion is my very favorite, Mate! xo
DeleteWhat a great way to celebrate! Congratulations on your milestone!
ReplyDeleteI was looking at dates, Lisa, and I just realized that we're 15 years into this century. 15! That seems surreal. Where's my cane?
DeleteThanks you guys! And now - the sugar hangover. I'm in black coffee denial.
