Book Launch with Pictures
The book launch was fabulous! I thank everyone who came, and I am totally in awe of the staff at Cornerstone Press for doing such a marvelous job putting it all together. We estimated a crowd of about 150 (there were 150 chairs, nearly all filled, and people standing). I’m still waiting to hear how many books were sold.
So, here are some photos:
Cornerstone Press staff setting up the book table. In addition to Syncopation, other Cornerstone titles were available, as was The Stolen Goldin Violin.
I greet a table of very important guests.
Guests check out the book table.
The place is starting to fill up!
Boone Sorenson (program emcee, on left) and Per Henningsgaard (Cornerstone editor-in-chief, in center) discuss the order of the program.
The frightening moment arrives and I have to take the stage. I talk about writing Syncopation and then read an excerpt.
I sign books.
Kristen and Boone draw the names of the raffle winners.(Don’t the raffle prizes look wonderful?)
Again, a heartfelt thanks to those of you who came and those of you who made the event so wonderful.
If you live outside central Wisconsin and would like me to visit a bookstore in your area, please contact me: elizabethcfelt at gmail.com. I love to travel!!

Elizabeth–Congratulations! It looks as though everyone had a lovely time. I couldn’t make the launch, but let me know where to buy the book.

Thank you, Michelle. Most of the bookstores and some of the coffee shops in Stevens Point have it. I’ll be signing/selling it at the library in Wisconsin Rapids on May 10th at 7:00. You can also order online from the Cornerstone Press website: http://www.uwsp.edu/english/cornerstone/Pages/pastBooks.aspx

Congratulations! I am sorry that I did not make it to join the celebrations. It looks like it was a wonderful time, and that many excited people made an appearance. I can imagine your own excitement! I’m very happy for you!
