~October 13, 2012~
Please SAVE THIS DATE because that's when I'm having my book release party for my second novel, Live Through This. Hooray!
(If you're out of the area and know you won't be attending, I have information for you about ordering personalized and signed copies at the bottom of this post!*)
Here are the details:
When: Saturday, October 13, 2012 from 2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. 
What's happening: Author reading, presentation, and Q&A! Several songs mentioned in the book will be performed live by members of Alabaster and Peace Mercutio! Reception and book signing to follow!
Where: Elliott Bay Book Company
1521 Tenth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98122
(206) 624-6600 / orders@elliottbaybook.com
RSVP email: mindirochelle at gmail dot com. Or, at the Facebook launch party event page.
This is not required, but will definitely be appreciated so that I can tell the bookstore how much seating will be needed, as well as give them an idea of how many books to have on hand to sell that day. They will be offering both the hardcover ($16.99) and paperback ($9.99) versions. If you know what you'd like in advance (and especially if you'd like multiple copies), please do let me know or go ahead and contact the bookstore soon to pre-order directly from them.
Parking suggestion: The street parking near the bookstore only allows for two hours of pre-paid parking. A better choice is the Harvard Garage, located two blocks away at 1609 Harvard Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98122. It costs $5 for the entire day. (Also, the bookstore does have a small garage beneath, which reimburses $4 for people who spend $20 or more at the store, but it can be pricey to park there for very long.)
*If you can't attend the event, you still have the option of getting personalized and signed copies of Live Through This shipped to you! Simply place your book order online through Elliott Bay Book Company's site anytime between now and October 11, 2012, and include a comment notation that you are requesting an autographed book from this event. Alternately, you may make this purchase and request by phone: 1-800-962-5311.
