Launch Party Recap

On Saturday, April 6, 2013, Powell's Books in Beaverton, Oregon, hosted my In the Shadow of Blackbirds launch party. Local authors, bloggers, friends, and even out-of-state family members  joined me in the celebrations. 

Here's a pictorial tour of the afternoon:

I signed all the remaining stock, so if you'd like to order an autographed copy of In the Shadow of Blackbirds, please call Powell's Books at 800-878-7323.
