We had our little book launch at
Desire Books, Manly on the 14th of August. Thanks to Desire Books, guests and Many Writers' Group - especially
Robert Salisbury who gave all us unknown writers the chance to be published.
Up there on stage reading my
short story, it occurred to me: was I a launchee or was I a launcher? In one sense I was a part of launching the book. So, I guess in one way I was a launcher. On the other hand, I was part of what was being launched - so I was also a launchee. I guess you could say that makes me bi-launchual.
Writers2Watch - Manly Edition is available at
Desire Books and
Humphries.
Anyway, here are a few photos of the night in case you're interested...or if you just like photos of other people and places.
