Our Stars Came Out to Shine: Going Gypsy’s Release Party!

The Going Gypsy book release party on the rooftop of the Library Hotel in NYC http://www.goinggypsybook.com
Gift bags ready to be given!

There are few words to describe our feelings about the outpouring of love and wonderfulness that was Going Gypsy: One Couple’s Adventure from Empty Nest to No Nest at All‘s release party.

So, very unlike our wordy selves, we shall let pictures say the thousand words. As if a thousand words could ever be enough.

From the instant we entered the Library Hotel, we felt like we were visiting an old friend.

The party added to that comfortable feeling, as well as giving us the opportunity to meet a bunch of new friends.

Jenny and her many admirers!

And our editor, Jenny, who rescued us from Unknown Writer’s Purgatory, raved about us to her bosses, championed our ridiculous ideas and held our hands as we baby stepped our way into the publishing process. Actually, she is still holding our hands.

Caught on camera! Veronica signs her very first book! Not gonna lie, it felt rather awesome!

Meghan promised to crawl through windows for us, no matter how small the opening. She proved to be more agile than we ever could have dreamed.

We’d also like to thank everyone who agreed to let us write about them in our wacky way. You are good sports.

We had some real characters in attendance, including…
