What a big load of joy this picture thing has been for me. Next week I’ll tell you all about my excursion to immigration hell, but for now I’m keeping this going so I don’t actually poke my own eye out with a fork from frustration.
From Bipolar Disorder expert (ah, those were the days) to bi-coastal arse expert. For a book that is not easily available in the U.S. it sure gets around the land of the free. Just the other day, the little blook was basking in the California sun and the glare from sparkly awards and sequined dresses. Through the magic of the internet it’s been transported from the land of silicone to the land of show tunes.
Here is yet another famous person (not photo-shopped, I swear) who graciously agreed to pose with a copy of my doodles. Mesdames et Messieurs I give you Vivian Swift, author of When Wanderers Cease to Roam and Le Road Trip, two of the most beautiful books ever created.
Vivian was instrumental in getting this book written. She helped me all along the way and here she is helping me again in fine NYC style. I just hope some drunk and disorderly, fancy-pants NYC publisher will see how good it looks in Times Square, send me a squillion dollar contract and plaster it all over Amazon.com. If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere.
FMIF dans la Grosse Pomme – that book gets to go to the best places.
(Vivian, Le Road Trip is working it’s way up my TBR list by the side of my bed)
Very cool, Bobbi. You’ve made it to the Big Apple! Who can top that?
By the way, that’s not just New York City…that’s TIMES SQUARE, the crossroads of the world, the core of the Big Apple, the heart of Manhattan, etc. As a hick from Missoula Montana I still get thrills whenever I traipse across 42nd Street and Broadway. My hope was that if I stood long enough in the flow of traffic, people would start to wonder about a book that could engross a reader in the thick of mid-town’s hustle. I head out to Nashville for Bastille Day – I can’t wait to read in public in front of the Grand Old Opry!
Yee-haw!!
Vivian–have fun in Nashville–you’re getting close to my part of the world (i’m 3 hours up 65). You look gorgeous and the book looks good too.
i’m waiting on my copy (i was holding out for my independent bookstore to get the order i requested, but it never came). no worries, mine’s in transit right now as i could wait no longer and ordered it from your site links.
i did get vivian’s book at the bookstore a few months back and loved it. (they had it on a display shelf–it was like a christmas miracle walking in and seeing it waiting there for me.)
I have to say I am so enjoying the trip your book is making! Vivian’s books are wonderful and yours is absolutely on it’s way! Congratulations on this wonderful achievement!
Sorry you are dealing with “immigration hell”!
That is an awesome picture. I hope no one was hurt (or robbed) in the making of it.
Happy Canada Day!!!!!
Loved this! Whatta lady, whatta book, whatta background! Great!
