Getting ready to start the first signing with my mom at my side. Several people actually asked her to sign the book too - she loved it!

Book Signing with my mom. Mom has now sat next to me at my Saskatoon launches four or five times and it is always a special moment. What a thing to be doing together! Never would have thought about it so many years ago while milking cows together in the barn!

The signing line. We went with a new launch concept this time. An hour of signing. Then on stage interview. Then another hour of signing. All the while wine & cheese being served.

At the head of the line.

Waiting to go on. With Herb. Those last few seconds before you go on stage in front of any crowd are always special. Sometimes nervous, always excited.

Being interviewed by super local personalities Penney Murphy & Brent Loucks.

Questions for the interview were solicited via social media.

James, Kathryn, Dan.
James & Dan came to the launch despite having just got off a plane from Paris and no doubt suffering jet lag.

While I sign, Mom visits.

With events coordinator Marcy Hildebrandt.
Marcy put together the very cool posters - including the one in the background which will be sold off with proceeds going to Camp fYrefly Sask. The lovely bouquet - which I incidentally match - was from my family.

With sister Hope & our highschool principal Don Cambridge and Mrs. Cambridge.
