September 6, 2016: Online book launch of The Spawning Grounds

[Gail Anderson-Dargatz]

Well, folks, things are starting to wrap up. I'll go through and catch up on comments I may have missed, but I'll say my goodbye now. Thanks so much to everyone for helping me to celebrate today. Wha-hooo!

 

[June Hutton]

I must go now, but may you have a marvelous time in those great hotel bathtubs. See you in Vancouver!

 

[Emily De Angelis]

Hey kids .... Pizza again ...

Nothing wrong with pizza...has all the food groups!

 

[Deborah Serravalle]

Thanks, all. See you in Hamilton, Gail!

 

[Mitch Krupp]

Cheers all!

 

[Emily De Angelis]

Good luck with the tour and be safe. Thanks to Mitch and the kids for supporting Gail in her life's work. Thanks to Gail for her life's work and for sharing it with us. Maybe I'll see you at an event somewhere in Ontario! Congrats!

Gail, we're all so excited for you. I hope when I'm back from Vancouver Island to be able to see you either in Toronto or in Stratford. Do you know your Toronto dates?

 

[Liisa Kovala]

Thank you for sharing your words with us in your new novel, Gail. But I also want to thank you for encouraging the growth of new writers. Like most teachers, we don't always see the impact we are having on our students, but it is so evident that your writing and teaching has touched many hearts. Sending hugs your way. Congratulations again! What a great way to launch!

 

[Laurie Elmquist]

Thank you Gail for this forum and best of luck to you!

Oh, and everyone, Rosanna has had some exciting successes this year. Check them out on her Facebook page!

Thanks so much, Gail! You are such a thoughtful, supportive and giving writer! You have helped me and so many others! Mamma mia! When my dreams of having my own Italian villa become a reality, and you come to visit, I will treat you to the finest Italian chocolates! lol (And that goes for all of my writing friends!)

Good to see you too Laurie! All the best!

Thanks so much Gail for all you do for writers and writing in Canada. You are in inspiration and a friend. I hope to meet you along the way as we tour our books (I'll likely be in the audience ) And thanks Mitch for supporting Gail in all she does. You two are awesome. Time to go...dinner is looking weird...

 

[Mitch Krupp]

By Ann! and thanks ...

It's been so wonderful to participate in this online launch! Nice meeting all of you, and very best wishes to you, Gail, (and Mitch), on this next very exciting chapter of your life touring with The Spawning Grounds!

 

[Rosanna Battigelli]

Yep, there were many a foot rubs in there over the years, I can tell you!

Hey Mitch, your halo keeps glowing brighter!
