2K8ers love a good blog party, but nothing beats a debut author's first real world launch party!
I had my book party (Alive and Well in Prague New York) at the wonderful Bank Street Bookstore in my neighborhood in Manhattan. Friends and family braved fierce heat to come out and help me celebrate.
This is me and my super fabulous editor Jill Santopolo, who is an excellent author in her own right. She introduced my reading. I was pretty nervous about it but it was a sympathetic audience and they cheered me on. Afterwards I signed books.
This is my friend Keith Bunin who is a terrific playwright and screenwriter. He was one of a group of friends from high school who came out to show their support. It’s neat to have friend who actually knew me as a teen read my teen book!
Here are some other friends and my awesome-beyond-words agent Alyssa Eisner-Henkin. Writer Kathryne Alfred is in there too along with a couple of other friends. After the signing we headed out for food and drinks at a nearby restaurant.
And here’s another group that came out to support me: some Class of 2K8ers! This is me with Donna Freitas, Courtney Sheinmel and Nina Nelson.
It was so much fun to celebrate my book’s arrival in the world and I’m so grateful to everyone who came!
Thanks for a wonderful week, Daphne!

March 3rd.
Count on Chris Gall to give me a WAPB Award contender for 2008. Two years ago his Dear Fish knocked my socks off with its intrinsic weirdness. There’s Nothing to Do on Mars is also strange, but because it is a whole other planet, it’s supposed to be strange. So actually, that makes Gall the perfect person to write and illustrate this book.
A boy and his family move to Mars, and he’s bored.
I'm waiting for the Oscar nominations to come in. They're being announced as I type and should hopefully be available on the Oscars site by the time I'm done with my post. Actually, it's purely by chance that I'm on the computer during the announcements. I wasn't waiting for them, especially since I haven't seen any of the films that are being mentioned as possible winners.
But it is an
Yay, Daphne! And I love that last picture!
