I know. I'm totally late in posting these, but they are finally here! Yay! I love this YA series so much and loved being hosted by The King's English Bookshop. They are by far one of my favorite places in Utah. Thanks to them for the location. A shout out to my friends Suzie and Bethany for the fabulous cookies. Thanks to the Durtschi's at
Crio Bru for providing the amazing brewed cocoa bean drinks (yum!). Last of all, thanks to all my supporters for coming out and listening to me gush about this labor of love, Van Gogh Gone. You can still pick up a copy at your local Utah bookstore, Deseret Book, or
Amazon. Don't forget to read
Remembrandt first if you want to get the full story :)

It's go time!
I absolutely LOVE my cover to Van Gogh Gone (Remembrandt #2). It may be that I helped create it, but it's probably more because I got the gorgeous Marli to model for me and Summer Nicole Photo to take the cover photo. |
 |
| My cheesy smile before the launch begins. |
 |
| Thanks to my 7-year-old, these custom cookies were nearly gone before the launch even started. |
 |
| Though some of these gorgeous cookies (made to mimic the symbol of the spy organization in the book) were damaged in transit, they tasted as good as they looked. Thanks, Suzie! |
 |
| A launch wouldn't be complete without my biggest supporter, my daughter . . . and that child that I will not claim behind us :) |
 |
| Crio Bru? Yes, please! You can't have a book launch on a chilly day without a warm brewed drink. |
 |
| Bethany saved the day with these custom cookies she created just hours before the launch. It's a good thing we had them in addition to the others because every one of them disappeared minutes after the reading and Q&A. |
 |
| There are so many people I love in this picture! |
 |
| My cute friends from book club! Jen, Kara, and Julie - you guys are the best. |
 |
| This mother-daughter duo are such good friends and great supporters. Love you, Krista and Shaustia! |
 |
| Just waiting around with The King's English staff before I began. |
 |
| Just giving a little back story on how Remembrandt and Van Gogh Gone came to be. |
 |
| I know I was saying something super interesting here. |
 |
| I'll be honest with you, I don't even remember what part of my book I read for the reading! Does anyone remember? |
 |
| Either I said something really funny here or someone in the audience did ;) |
 |
| My handsome hubby and youngest daughter totally enthralled by my words. |
 |
| Some of my favorite people came! |
 |
| Marissa from Rae Gun Ramblings came! She is amazingly cute blogger, crafter, and reader. Her etsy shop (cute and hip baby and toddler clothes) is TO DIE FOR! |
 |
| See? Totally enthralled . . . |
 |
| I'm so funny! (and I was so 16 weeks pregnant too and no one knew) |
 |
| I told you I was funny. Love you, Amy! |
 |
| Whitney and Alix came too. |
 |
| They couldn't wait to get reading. |
 |
| Angie is my soul sister and seriously should not stand next to me because she's so gorgeous. |
 |
| Signing time! The King's English has this cute little nook upstairs where authors sign their books. I love it. |
 |
| I like to personalize my books before I sign my name. |
 |
| Finally, I got a chance to sit back and relax. |
 |
| and drink some Crio Bru. |
 |
| This was not posed. If it was, I wouldn't have a double chin :) |
 |
| Some of my Delicious Reads friends. I love you guys! |
 |
| I love that you'll do crazy jumps in the air with me. |
 |
| I vaguely remember someone making an inappropriate comment here about my the placement of my books. Thanks to all my supporters (no pun intended) . |
Seriously, this was the best book launch I could have asked for!
XoXo,
P.S. The final book in the Remembrandt series will be coming out fall 2016! I'll be announcing the title at an event this coming Saturday,
