Just like romance, that first book signing carries a special charge. That was true for Tanner, Eugenie and me at Diesel, A Bookstore the other night, where we had our fist author 'event'. The SRO crowd of 50+ people included so many dear friends and family that I would need a separate post to thank them all. Instead, I'll give a communal shout out - Grazie Mille! We sold every copy of GIMME SHELTER (If you weren't there and want a copy don't worry, they'll be restocking or you can buy from Amazon or from us at www.buygimmeshelter.com). According to reports, I gave a terrific reading/Q & A, and we were thrilled to present our first donation of the Gimme Shelter Campaign to Malibu Pet Companions, a local non-profit that provides heroic, free vet care for the animals at the Agoura Hills (L.A. County) Animal Shelter, where Tanner once stayed. A special thanks to MPC Board chief and volunteer extraordinaire, Robin Kahrs, and Dr. Lisa Newall from Malibu Coast Animal Hospital, Tanner's doc, and one of the amazing veterinarians who donate their time and love to help the dogs and cats. If you're feeling generous, maybe stop by the Malibu Pet Companions site and contribute.
