Or a lot, actually. It’s been a month since my first-ever author reading, and I’m still so grateful to everyone who came — and even those who weren’t able to make it, but sent words of encouragement.

And flowers — holy flowers, Batman!

I tried to stream the event live on Facebook, but unfortunately we had some technical difficulties. But my awesome friend recorded it for me (again, very thankful)! So if you’re a fan of awkwardness and Minnesota accents, head over to my Facebook page to check out a clip.

I’ll also leave you with my favorite picture from the event: a lovely photo of my sister and niece…and an epic photo bomb by my super supportive critique partner!
