| Since the release of Mahu Surfer coincided with my 50th birthday, I
decided to throw myself a big party. Here are some of the photos taken by the wonderful writer Barbara Parker. |

| Here's the cake Marc bought for everyone to enjoy, decorated to match the bookmark. |
My friend John Spero, from Murder on the Beach Mystery Bookstore in Delray Beach, was on hand to sell books. |

My West Lake Village neighbors, they're the parents of Sam's friends |

| It's an FIU reunion! Chris Kling, Elisa Albo, David Beaty, Ginny Wells, Barbara Parker, Vicki Hendricks, and me. |

|
| Though I tried to hide in the darkest corner of the room, the dancers found me and dragged me out onto the floor |

Signing books is always the most fun part. |
