I’m so thrilled that Park Road Books in Charlotte will host our book launch party for Eve’s Garden! Please come join us on Thursday, September 25 (Almost the weekend!) at 7:00 p.m. to help us celebrate the publication. My wonderful publisher and editor, Joan Leggitt, will be there, and my friend Vadim Kolpakov of Via Romen, one of the best guitarists and the best Romani music ensembles in the world, respectively, will play for us.

I’m working on a short video depiction of Romani history to help set the stage before I share some brief excerpts from the novel. But I promise not to talk too long because I want you to savor the event with me, sipping wine or punch and nibbling some treats. ( There will be pomegranates in the mix.)

If you want to participate in the planning, please review and comment on some ideas for the menu and setting at http://www.pinterest.com/womenbooks/.
I am really happy to be going on the road to visit my friends and readers all over the country, but I hope you can join me in Charlotte for a wonderful celebration of, well, getting it done.
