Susan Branch Book Signing
Hosted by “Happy Go Smile” in Cayucos, California
Saturday, November 8, 2014
10am-noon
36 North Ocean Avenue
Cayucos, CA 93430
Cayucos is a California beach town offering many wonderful places to stay, eat, and shop…. make it a “Girlfriends Weekend!”  Don’t forget to pop up the coast a few miles for the wonderful town of Cambria!  And if there’s time, Hearst Castle, Big Sur, and amazing coast line are just a few miles further north.

So how was the event???

IT WAS WONDERFUL!  Here are a few pictures:

Cayucos

The Pacific Ocean is right across the street from us.  Ocean Avenue is filled with wonderful shops like Happy Go Smile, lots of group antique stores, bakeries, restaurants, views of the water . . . it was your typical California day of weather perfection.  The perfect place for a Girl Party! From my signing perch, I could hear everyone talking and laughing ~ as usual, the line was the best place to be!

IMG_8876

Barbara, who owns Happy Go Smile and her crew (family and friends), made it wonderful . . . here’s Amy with her famous homemade cupcakes for those who waited in line to get their books signed so no one should feel any chocolate deprivation in the meantime.

IMG_8879

Lots of FOSB were here, Girlfriends putting faces to names we’ve read many times on my Blog and on Facebook.  Very fun!  I would see a name, like “Pat from Paso” . . . and say, “Ohhh, Pat!!!”  Meeting someone I talk to on the Blog all the time!  I’m behind that red suitcase at a table where I got to meet and sign for everyone; besides books and calendars, I signed t-shirts and tea-tins, book marks and cooking albums.  A two hour event, turned out to be four wonderful hours of fun!

Happy Go Smile is right!

heading for SB

Here we are driving the coast to Santa Barbara …. Thought I would give you the lay of the land.  Rather lovely lay of the land.  When I drive this coast in California, land of my childhood, anywhere from Ventura to Big Sur, I ALWAYS play this cd . . . it’s MUSICA!  Roll down the windows!

Joe went outside and took his picture through the window so you could see what Hampstead Village, a charming shop specializing in everything wonderfully British, from books to food to tea cups and teapots, was like.

Sunday, November 12, 2014  Susan will sign books from noon to 2:30 . . . .  at Titcombs Bookshop, East Sandwich, Cape Cod, MA

me and the man out front

Here I am with the famous patriot-looking man out front of the bookshop, About to go in and sign our new 10th Anniversary printing of Autumn from the Heart of the Home.

Barb and Betsy

Despite the nutty look on my face, I was thrilled to see Barbara Gibson and Betsy Bray of the Beatrix Potter Society. A photo of us at this book signing was just featured in the newest Beatrix Potter Society Newsletter (which I receive in an email, you can too!) called Pottering About.

IMG_6577

Here they are, Barb and Betsy . . . such a nice surprise that they came.

friends from the past

And more friends from the past . . . see the photo?  It was taken at a book signing years ago on a porch overlooking the sea on Block Island . . .

all those years ago

Here’s the photo up close; and there we are, still crazy after all these years . . . this is one of the many reasons I love my job, because of the lasting connections I have with my Girlfriends.

Titcombs crew
These are the people who keep Titcombs the wonderful place that it’s been for over forty years, serving beautiful Sandwich, the oldest city on Cape Cod, settled in 1637. From left, that’s Elizabeth M., me, Karen, Elizabeth S., Kathy, and Vickie Titcomb, whose mom and dad started the bookshop.

Delicious tea with cookies and cakes as refreshments, and lots of lovely people.  We had a great time.

IMG_6691

I talked for about an hour, they asked me to tell the story of how I met the Beatles, so we had lots of laughing.  I love the questions the audience asks. You never know where you’ll end up.

(I know I’m a late bloomer and I’ve come to accept it and be happy that there is any blooming at all, but how old will I have to be before talking in front of a group is easy?  Not there yet!  #scariestthingido  #scarierthandrivingonthewrongsideoftheroadinengland  #thethingsidoforlove 🙂

September 14, 2013   Saturday, 1:00-3:00pm

Prairie Lights Bookstore

15 South Dubuque St., Iowa City, Iowa

319-337-2681

Here I am at Prairie Lights Bookstore on Saturday night, happy because it’s so much fun meeting everyone!

One of my favorite things ~  it’s so often a family affair ~ here’s Nancy, Chelsea, Haley, and Patricia!

Nicest people in the world, in love with home, family, seasons, cooking, girlfriends, making things, books, tea, England and all the things we love.  Another wonderful afternoon! 

Pouring rain this Sunday morning in Iowa City…we’re packing up, on our way to Kansas City for a book signing at Rainy Day Books and this:

 A NEW EVENT: I just found out, I “get to be” (fear factor requires quotes) on Local Kansas City TV, WDAF Fox 4 answering questions about A FINE ROMANCE, Monday morning, twice, once between 8-9 and another segment between 9-10 am. And then, between 10 and 11, I’ll be on Kansas City Live KSHB TV, 41 Action News. Sorry I can’t be more specific time-wise than that. We will try get links to these to put up later, if such a thing will exist.  Bye for now Girlfriends!  Wish me luck!

As far as I’m concerned, it’s all a miracle. 

Whew!  We did it, we did not fall off our stool, we did not drool, our lip did not quiver visibly, and we did not die.  Afterward it felt like it had been fun!  And then, off we went to Rainy Day Books.

September 16, 2013  Monday, 7:00-8:30pm

Rainy Day Books

2706 W. 53rd St., Fairway, Kansas

913-384-3126

Rainy Day Books will be serving “English Refreshments” ~ the price of admission is $26.95 plus tax and includes a book along with the ticket to attend.

AND HERE WE ARE:

Where a wonderful welcome was waiting for us . . .

Many of these lovely faces have names we would recognize on the blog . . . they came from all over Missouri and Kansas, from Iowa too, even from North Carolina and Arkansas.  What a great thrill it was for me to meet everyone.  All the way along, it’s been more than I ever imagined. I’ve loved every second of it. 

We took lots of pictures and told each other stories of our lives . . . we all seem to have so much in common.  Brave girls, everyone doing their best in this life, to make it matter and make a difference.

One of our guy friends got into the act making us all laugh . . . Brian was getting a book and a picture for his friend Debbie who couldn’t make it ~  he was such a cutie-pie.

 This is Vivien and Roger, the dynamic team that owns and runs Rainy Day Books, a Kansas City institution since 1975.  Kansas City is lucky to have this amazingly hard-working duo (is what I think).   Everyone comes to sign books at their bookstore ~ from Presidents to the normal people like me.  They have a wall of signed books from different authors in their store.  They have a gift of making their customers (and their authors) feel like a million bucks.  They wrote something profoundly insightful about Independent Bookstores, and why it’s so important to support them, in case you’d like to read it.   

And now . . .

Oh yes, here we go again . . . this morning we drive to Wichita for a signing tonight at Watermark Books — our last one until the second printing comes in!  Come be with us if you can . . . I’d love to see you. xoxo

September 18, 2013  Wednesday, 6 – 8pm

Watermark Books and Cafe

4701 East Douglas, Wichita, Kansas

316-682-1181

Here we are just arriving at Watermarks Books, a wonderful little independent bookstore in Wichita, Kansas . . . and look at all our wonderful girlfriends!  Joe went up first to make sure he took pictures of faces and not just of backs of heads — he’s been doing a great job.  Note: not too many photos of Joe?  ‘Cause he’s always got the camera!

After I gave my talk, it was time for signing and picture taking . . . everyone was making friends in line and many of them went out to dinner (and perhaps a bit of Twine) afterwards.  Girlfriends who’d never met before!  I loved that.

Of course there was lots of laughter . . . Cute is as cute does. 

Saying goodbye to the kind and multi-talented people who put this event together.

But couldn’t go until I signed a small stash of first editions to leave behind for you in case you need one (with help from Beth).

AND NOW: Book signing adventure is on hold until California (scroll down for future events, and don’t forget, we have to drive HOME from California, the adventure has just begun!). Last night, the full Harvest Moon, and today the meandering adventure begins.  Play day!

I have loved every moment of this trip.  I asked Joe last night if he was sad or happy that it was our last Event (for now), and he said, “both” which was my thought exactly.  It’s been beyond wonderful, but there is something to be said for nowhere imminent to be and no rush to get there!  We’ll still be taking you along. . . I’ll get back to posting more regularly very soon.

NOTE TO GIRLFRIENDS:  Because of you and your wonderful response and your so-much- appreciated word-of-mouth, the first printing of A FINE ROMANCE has SOLD OUT!  We’ve had to put the rest of the book-signing tour on hold until more books come back in at the end of October.  Which means that after Wichita, we’ll be making a big left turn in our Fine Romance Van to go visit my Dad (commonly known among the Girlfriends as “Blog Daddy”).  And then on to California to see my mom and all my oldest friends, plus Kellee and Sheri and my Central Coast home and to do more events which are being scheduled right now.  There will be more blogging along the way!

You can still pre-order your signed copies from our web store; those books will be the very first to be mailed out when the second printing arrives.  And even before that happens, we see the handwriting on the wall in the form of bookstore orders and our publisher has requested a THIRD printing, which should arrive to us by December first in plenty of time for Christmas.  You did this.

Fireworks, squealing happiness, joy to the world, we are thrilled!  Thank you for your leadership! 🙂 And for the five-star reviews on Amazon.com!!!  Darling girls, I know it’s you! 

Here we go again!  The second printing of A FINE ROMANCE has finally arrived and we are off again, heading first for Pasadena.

November 5, 2013 Tuesday, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm

Vroman’s Bookstore

695 E. Colorado Blvd.

Pasadena, CA

626-449-5320

And here we are, in beautiful downtown Pasadena.  We found a parking space right in front of the wonderful Vroman’s Bookstore (since 1894)! If you ever have a chance to visit this bookstore, you should (Pasadena is filled with beautiful old houses and wonderful things to see and do). 

Sherri (on the left) and Jen (on the right) welcomed us and of course Joe manned the camera!

But next time I want to bring my camera up with me so I can take a picture of all the smiling faces!  I asked how many in the audience had been to my blog and almost everyone raised their hands!  It was wonderful, more like a reunion, putting familiar names with faces, coming from as far away as Arizona and Oregon.

November 7, 2013  Thursday,  1 – 2:30 pm

Strawberry Patches Quilt Shop

6433 Ming Avenue

Bakersfield, CA 93309

661-835-1738

And here we are, yesterday at Strawberry Patches in Bakersfield, California.  This store is so cute, so beautiful, even if you never sewed a stitch in your life, you would want to come here, for the colors alone . . . anyone would feel inspired in this charming quilt shop.

It was decked with every kind of bunting, and the Girlfriends were all there, with Parisian Champagne (from Trader Joe’s, so good!).  Joe took so many photos, but he wasn’t the only one!  Cameras galore!

Moms, daughters, sisters, best friends ~ Girlfriends Forever, old friends and new!

The fun and creative tiara-bedecked girls that made this happen, from left to right: Nancy B., Kathie, Jane, me (with little felted Jack, made for me by Suzanne, I am so madly in love with it, I cannot tell you.  I felt guilty taking it because it was too darling, but I had to, HAD to — see it closer in the photo below and you will understand), Suzanne in pink (Strawberry Patches is her store), Kara, and Barbara.  Right this moment, with memories of yesterday swirling in my mind, I’m munching on cookies from my little bag of “Rachel’s Lemon Butter Cookies,” (pg. 139 of A FINE ROMANCE) made by Nancy B (“from Bakersfield,” our blog Girlfriend) … she tied them into little cellophane bags with ribbons and stickers for everyone to take home.  Having them with my tea.  6:30 am perfection.  Yummy!  And that’s how the whole thing was, homemade and filled with heart!

 And this, I mean, really! I am beside myself.  His red ball, his rubber band?  Too much.  Award winning, “Most Adorable Thing.”

I had a wonderful time, THANK YOU Strawberry Patches!
