Smiling by the pond in Central Park:
Admiring the statue of Balto, the Siberian Husky whose famous “serum run”, to bring medical treatment to the city of Nome, Alaska, inspired the Iditarod sled race:
Taking pictures of important landmarks:
Debuting my book trailer:
Seeing Broadway plays and meeting up with amazing actor friend Greg Jbara, who plays the father in “Billy Elliott”, and showed us around backstage after the show (the husb was there, too, but I cropped him out):
Having lunch with the Delightful Editor, the Wonderful Publicist, and Agent M (who refused to have his picture taken!), and getting my paws on THIS, a REAL book!–click for a closer look:
Taking the cover off to find that my book is done in the colors of Astronaut Ice Cream–I think designer Beth Clark has been reading my diary or something–what author is lucky enough to get METALLIC PINK letters on her book???–click for a closer look.
We had such a great time and ate SO MUCH DELICIOUS FOOD (omg) and saw so many awesome things and could have easily stayed another week.
But at the end of the day… it’s wonderful to be home.

- And for my next trick, I will disappear.

Winston and his new toy, too cute. Just this week we were watching the Ididarod race and those dogs are incredible. But what I loved the most was the little booties that they wear, and part of me wonders if the dogs are embarrassed and what would their ancestors think. Booties?? That Winston is so tough I bet he wouldn’t need them!
Oops, I forgot to say the book looks great! How exciting it would be to actually see your own book in print.
And here I thought Balto was just some Disney movie about some husky running around a lot. The things you learn.
Love the “Winston” building!
Awww, I’m dying to see husb’s mug…
Okay, let spill, what was the first emotion that went through your head when you cradled that beautiful hardcover book in your arms for the first time? I can’t imagine! Wow. Congrats again.
You’re book looks so pretty! Next time you’re in NY you must visit The Strand.
i just found my copy of the children’s book “Balto” while at home and re-read it while dog sledding.
Pink and brown. Swoon. I’m in love.
