free LUCK for everybody
So we had the book launch party for Get Lucky on Saturday.
I really wasn’t sure how many people would show up, but I knew it would be a fun time. Especially since I’d be reading the first chapter of the book, which is pretty feisty.
The opening paragraph is all about how the main character, who works for an ad agency and has just finished working on a bra campaign, stumbles on a website that gives her a crisis of consciousness.
In truth, the word “boobs” appears in the first chapter many times. Many, many times. More times than I’d really noticed before I was standing up reading it in front of a crowd of — I’m guessing — something like 100 people (my mom’s guessing 150, but she’s my mom).
A crowd that included one of my favorite six-year-olds.

She didn’t seem to mind too much, though.

I had such a great time. On Twitter, before the launch, I promised we’d give away free luck with every book to everyone who came to the party. And I feel like we did. Or, if not luck, at the very least: gratitude. Which is really kind of not that different.
I wish I could have made it out but the baby was sick and needed his mama! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy to read 😀
Congratulations Katherine!
oh this looks like so much fun! but being that i live in montana, not likely that i could have made it 😉 i loved the book however. just finished it yesterday and LOVED it. i’m now reading “the bright side of disaster”. then i will have read all of your books, which will leave me wanting more. which is why i read your blog everyday 🙂
I wish I lived closer to you so that I could have come to your launch party 🙂 Boob is not such a bad word *laughing*
Looks like a great event–I am thinking of you!

Must be exciting to be the star of such an event!
The launch party was so fun! I’d never been to anything like that before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but I just had the most lovely time. It was so wonderful to meet you in person. You are absolutely delightful.
It was so great to meet you in person! Thank you for being there, and I’m very glad it was a lovely time!!
Katherine, buying my copy this week. You have the most beauitful blue eyes.
Sorry spelled Beautiful wrong had my 9 yr old daughter talking to me at the same time.
The party was really fun. Wish it could have lasted longer. I still have four books for you to sign! You chose a good chapter. Something about breasts…
Hi Katherine,
