Friday night was one of those evenings that stays with you.
To stand in a room filled with friends, family, readers, longtime supporters, and people who simply love this lake and the stories it holds was something I won’t soon forget. What began as a book launch became something much bigger… a gathering full of conversation, laughter, connection, and the kind of warmth you feel long after the night ends.
Thank you to everyone who came, bought books, shared stories, asked questions, and stayed until it was time to lock up! Seeing a long line of people waiting to support this book was genuinely moving.
A huge thank you to
@phoenixbooksvt for hosting such a beautiful event, to
@onionriverpress for believing in the project, to
@fluidbarservice for keeping everyone happily supplied with wine, and to
@miserylovescovt for the abundance of cheese!
And most of all, thank you to Kirsten, whose support, encouragement, patience, and steady belief carried so much of this book into the world.
I’m still taking it all in. What a night.
