Jenna's Book Launch Party Recap

Happy Monday everyone!  We had the absolutely best time at Jenna's Book Launch party last week at Miss Sophie's Marketplace in The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum!   How about some photos from the party?  

Here is Jenna flanked by two middle-aged women who adore her.  Just look at her; how could we not? 

The buffet table was filled with goodies Miss Sophie and I made: 
Crab Cakes with Remoulade
Chicken Satay with Red Chili Sauce
Beef Sliders with Pepperjack Cheese (Adam's favorite)
Mini Pimento Cheese Biscuits with Ham and Apple Butter (Yum!)
Charcuterie with Roasted Red Bell Peppers, fresh Mozzarella and imported olives
 Fruit display
And for dessert, mini cupcakes and Jenna's Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites

Miss Sophie made Jenna's gingerbread cookies from her book and filled them with chocolate buttercream.  Holy smokes, these were good! The recipe will be posted next Monday!

A wonderful classical trio played for this special event, thanks to a generous friend who hired these three teenagers. That's my son playing the cello, with his incredibly gifted friends, the Holliday boys.  

Conversations flowed and new friendships were made.  Hey there, Adam in the back!

There were over 90 guests who attended the party, and Miss Sophie and I couldn't have been happier sharing this gifted writer with our Savannah friends.


Oh yeah, she even got to speak at a podium with a microphone for the first time.  
I assure you, Jenna, a podium may become very familiar to you in the future.
Check out Jenna's schedule for remaining book tour dates and locations here!

Our author says there will be another book ahead.  It sounds like Miss Sophie and I will be planning another party....
