A picture perfect book tour.

Since the book tour for 500 Acres and No Place to Hide kicked off on August 1st, I’ve probably collected two hundred pictures of all those who’ve joined me at signings and invited me to speak at book club meetings. Thought you’d enjoy seeing some of them, and maybe spotting yourself in a few!

It rained cats and dogs, and many of you had to row home…

But I can’t thank you enough for joining me this past Wednesday night at Barnes and Noble in Georgetown!

Several of my dear friends from Georgetown University Hospital were there (Hi Jane and Christina!), two of my new friends from the American Farm Bureau came out, and a few of the most talented “mommy bloggers” in the blogosphere (including Mommy Needs a Cocktail, Toddler Planet, and A Parent in Silver Spring) did too. My sweet sister in law, Nancy, and my dear friend, Wendy Miller, who took all these terrific pictures, braved the flooding to support their favorite (because I am your favorite, right?) fake farm girl, and one of my earliest supporters, a guy who pushed my first book like nobody’s business while he was at Borders (cue tears for Borders…) drove all the way from Stafford or Staunton or some such terribly far away town in Virginia to celebrate with me (and keep me from fainting when a certain someone who will not be named (Kristen Hammond) made me read.

It was a wet but wonderful night. Thank you all so much for loving and supporting me.
Love, Susan xoxo

It was divine and bovine…

Many thanks to all of you who braved the heat and to my dear friends at Salon Emage for the world’s best book launch party! I’ll have more pictures at some point, and I’ll post them, but for now please enjoy these two of Joyce the Cow. She’s the one in the pearls, in case you’re unsure!

I look better in this shot (above)...

but Joyce takes the hay here. (Please God, somebody put a bag on my head!)

It was hot but moo-velous. Thanks to Martin’s Angus Beef for loaning us lovely Joyce, and Second Chapter Books for helping me sell 107 copies of 500 Acres and No Place to Hide. And thanks, as always, to the beautiful and talented Kimberly Petro for taking these — and dozens of other — pictures!
