Thank you all for a succesful party for Aaron’s book launch!
Thank you all for showing up to the party on Saturday night at the Writing Pad. Thank God they have such an amazing (and gigantic) space because it was packed.
Flickr is down so I’m not able to post all the pics, but here’s one.
And for those who couldn’t make it, and the ones who came but couldn’t buy a copy at the party, the book is available here for purchase.
Thank you to Marilyn Friedman for hosting the party. Thank you friends, family, and lover of books again for your continuing support.

Books have been ordered. Yes.
This morning, Lightning Source approved of the changes in our proof, which means that we were finally able to order our books!
It’s a 5-day turnaround, so still good for the release party in honor of Aaron’s book, but just to make double sure, we put on a rush job order.
The postcards we ordered should be here by tomorrow (was hoping for today). Once I have those in my hands, I’ll be footing around downtown passing them out.
All in all, almost time to breathe. Almost. Need to see those boxes of books here. Then breathe.
Also, we got a Press Release written up and sent out. Hate writing those. I don’t know why. Something about it creeps me out. But part of the business.
SEE YOU AT THE PARTY!!

Final Corrections (for real this time)
We got our proof copy of Aaron’s book on Friday.
The hope is, with each proofreading session, every error will be caught. Um…no.
It’s like they multiply while you’re not looking. Those stray commas. Them extra spaces. Those O’s mistaken for o’s.
Anyway, caught all of ‘em this time for sure! I swear! And back to the printer. Ready to order the 250 copies for the PARTY!!
Come to the party and you’ll see how perfect the book is.

Review of Kim’s collection in Rattle
Here’s, at least as far as I know, the first review of our very first title, Kim Calder’s Who’s to Say What’s Home.
It appears in Rattle and Kim is very happy with the review.
I like this passage best:
I found one of the best poems of the collection to be “emergency room,” in which the daughter has to face her father’s aging and eventual death. This is a universal issue that we all have to deal with, yet the poem doesn’t veer into triteness at all. Calder demonstrates a remarkable ability to portray real grief – which I find refreshing in the midst of the many poems in this collection that seem to try to drown grief out.
Check it out!
