Our book release party was a real celebration. Nearly 100 people attended and enjoyed a delicious cake, great chicken wings, fruit and vegetables. Mommy and Daddy were so busy, they didn't have a chance to eat, but they were told the food was really good. They did bring some cake home and are enjoying the white cake with raspberry filling delight. Yum yum!
Mommy was so overwhelmed by the response of the people, she could hardly talk. She doesn't get that way very often. :) She pulled it together and introduced the Rudy's Little World team to the audience. Daddy took over when it was time to debut our new book, "What's it Like in Heaven, Rudy?" We think everyone liked the book. Mommy really put her heart and soul into it. Chris, our illustrator, did a fabulous job with the pictures.
Book sales were amazing. We even sold a few mugs and T-shirts. Chris handled the signing like a real pro, so they kept the line moving very well. It's not good to make people wait too long!
Daddy and Mommy were so tired when they got home, they just ate Taco Bell and collapsed. They still had big smiles on their faces. We can't thank our fabulous fans enough for all their support. They made it the best launch ever!
While writing this blog, it dawned on me. Maybe the secret to success depends on how one measures it. Is it the number of books sold? The number of lives touched?
Many writers won't tackle the subjects we do because they are too hard. We have never been afraid of that. We have met many people and made a number of friends during our journey. Is that success?
Love,
Rudy the Mellow Yellow Lab
