BLAZE (or Love in the Time of Supervillains) by Laurie Boyle Crompton's Book Launch and GIVEAWAY (U.S. AND International)!


My sister (The Next Chapter) and I were so lucky to be able to go to
Laurie Boyle Crompton's BLAZE launch and signing
before Winter Storm Nemo came and wreaked havoc all over us, lol! 
The launch took place at Barnes and Noble in Carle Place...

I love seeing these little tables set up right when you walk in :) 

Here's Laurie pre-signing a few books for family members :)

Here she is getting ready to talk about BLAZE and read to us :)

Reading... 

Talking about BLAZE... so sorry, the beginning got cut off :( 


Her little sister dressed up as BLAZE! 
Amazing and supportive family they all are!

Laurie's husband, kiddos and family members all wore pink in honor of BLAZE!

Laurie is very tall... or I'm really really short, lol! 
She is such a super person - creative and inspiring!

We had so much fun! I am really looking forward to reading more of Laurie's books!
