I look better in this shot (above)…

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!

suz and joyce

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!
