Monday night the Physicist and I went to M.V.'s book launch party. Many of my Heart of Dixie writing sisters were there along with several of M.V.'s friends. We had a great time celebrating the book's release, conversing with friends, laughing and celebrating the sweet taste of publication.

M.V. Freeman and friends.

Here's what it looks like to finally release a debut novel!! As you can see, we had quite a wonderful time. Much happiness and positivity surrounded us. We were all happy for M.V. because she's worked so hard to make her dream become a reality. 

And because when one of us succeeds, we all believe we can attain the dream as well. 

The Physicist and M.V.'s hero. 

I was thrilled to be a part of the celebration. In a few short months, we'll be celebrating more releases. Next up is Katherine Bone with her Pirate romance. And I can't wait to share her writing journey with all my readers.

Now that I've had all this fun celebrating my friend's book release, I must get back to my own writing. After all, I need another reason to bring my friends and family together!! And celebrating my own debut release in the future--when that call finally happens--will be sweet!
