Last night Wander the Rainbow had its coming out affair — and what an event it was!

Any worry I may have had about “what if nobody shows up” was quickly dispelled as 7:30 rolled around; A Different Light Bookstore was PACKED. They actually started the event on time (instead of the usual 10-15 minutes late “gay standard time”) due to the full house.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit trepidatious — but by all accounts the crowd liked what I had to say and asked some intelligent questions about the writing process, the publishing process, liver donations, and the logistics of big-scale, round-the-world travel as a “flashpacker.”

Best of all, we sold out every copy we had — both those on hand at A Different Light and a bunch more we’d brought as backup. For those looking to buy it in the store or on their site, don’t despair: more are on their way today!

Afterward, we decamped to Blush! Wine Bar, where the stellar folks there hooked us up with appetizers and drinks (pink champagne, natch!)

As promised, a splendid time was had by one and all. So thanks to everyone who turned up and made this launch a success. For those who couldn’t make it, there will be other events in the San Francisco Bay Area soon, as well as events in other cities. Stay tuned for updates.

Wander on, everyone!
