The book is born


Look what arrived by messenger yesterday evening!

An advance copy of my book, still smelling inky.

I hope, if you're in the hood, you can join us for a party at Book Court, to celebrate.

September 7th, 4pm. Bubbly, cocktails, and snacks made in this tiny kitchen...

[Here is the Amazon link, by Facebook request: 66 Square Feet - A Delicious Life. The book will be released on September 3rd and will be available in real book stores, then, in the US and the UK. It may take a few weeks longer for South Africa and the Antipodos as the books clear customs. Funny thought.]

      Thank you, Roberto. It will be available in England, but I'm not sure whether they would distribute to the bookstores on the continent. I'll find out.

    Congratulations! Such a fantastic achievement Marie, and Vince too.
    I wish I could be there to wet the 'baby's' head - still, there in spirit! It looks amazing - might it be possible to purchase a signed copy from you? I don't mind waiting : ) x
