Imogene + Willie, thank you for hosting the best night of my life. To those who came, I am forever grateful. For those who missed out, hopefully these images by Red Hare Design will make you feel as though you were there. Thank you to everyone who embraced this labor of love. I’m pretty sure we blew the roof off your typical book release!
Live graffiti painting by Word of Mouth: Nashville Conversations subject Troy Duff
Grateful to everyone to purchased a copy. If you can’t read my chicken scratch I am happy to translate.
Held back tears during the entire Q&A. I love my exceptionally talented team more than I can articulate. (From left to right Danielle Atkins, Andrea Behrends and Joshua Black Wilkins.)
Word of Mouth: Nashville Conversations subject Stephanie Pruitt facilitated the Q&A. Her grace, intelligence and strength kept me sane throughout the writing process of my book.
Bartender Jenn Ross did an amazing job making sure everyone had their fix of Yazoo beer throughout the night.
Katy Futrell of DOH Nashville is sweeter than the delicious donuts she served up throughout the evening.
Thank you to everyone who signed my book. I look forward to reading those beautiful messages again and again.
My “lil sis” Madison Welsley Mergen, a burgeoning starlet and member of Stealing Oceans.
