"Uptown" - A novel...the book release party

A few weeks ago I blogged my interview with the beautiful authors Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant. Since my interview, I was honored to be invited to their New York City book release party of "Uptown", held at the fabulous B.Smith Restaurant., last Tuesday. OH! what an ENJOYABLE party it was.

This was my first time meeting the very beautiful Virginia DeBerry & Donna Grant. From the minute I introduced myself and mentioned my name, the warmth of hugs and smiles fell upon me. I didn't expect it, but it felt like I had known them more than the 3 months or more I began following them on twitter. It settled my nerves.

It made the mingling a bit easier. In addition to the introduction, the guests who filled the room also made it comfortable and a pleasure to mix and mingle. I, with my friends, met, networked and held conversations with some wonderful people. Even the aura and ambiance of the location was perfect.

I want to send my special thanks to authors Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant for inviting me to their release and for the warm welcome that was extended.

I, again, wish you continued success.

Much love,

Onika
