I’m homebound by chronic illness, so I couldn’t have an in-person book launch for COPY THAT, COPY CAT!. Even a virtual launch was more than I could handle (although I still might attempt that at some point). So I just asked for chocolate chip cookies to celebrate. I joked my family should make them in the shape of cats—and then they actually did!

That was already enough to make a great book launch!

Then my mom came home with a rocket balloon to celebrate my “launch.” And that was enough for me to declare the world’s smallest book launch party a huge success!

And then the morning of my launch, I woke up to a living room full of decorations! I was soooo surprised! My mom stayed up all night working on them.


Later my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew came by for cat ears and cookies, to make it a real party. (The cat theme is especially fun since I’m also a “Kat”.)


I couldn’t have had a better book launch even if I was healthy enough to go to a hundred bookstores. I’m so grateful to my family for making it so special!!
