We're all atwitter... in Germany!

When I received a pitch for a book with the premise "what to expect when your spouse wins the Nobel Prize" I laughed and wondered, How big could this market possible be -- spouses of Nobel prizewinners? But I loved the idea, knew there was a bigger market for this extraordinary story and envisioned a beautiful gift book.

So -- who'd a thunk our book would be gifted to every Nobel Laureate this year in Lindau? Here's the first page of the programme, author Anita Laughlin gave a reading earlier today in Germany...

We're all atwitter!

I confess, I only recently learned how to really use twitter to communicate -- and this morning I am having a dialogue with participants in Lindau! One little #hashtag and one little @message and there I am on the Nobel homepage getting feedback about author Anita Laughlin's reading earlier today. Wow. 

We are awaiting photos from tomorrow's Opening Ceremony Dinner, where guests will all receive a copy. I'm doing a dance in my little ole office in Deadwood, Oregon... and today Wyatt-MacKenzie added our 116th title to Amazon!

Gustaf's daughter, Princess Victoria, Marries Her Love

I wonder if they served REINDEER at the wedding...!? 

I was enamored by the beautiful images of Swedish Princess Victoria's wedding this weekend. Seeing her father, King Gustaf, walking her down the aisle, and knowing he read and endorsed OUR book was a thrill!

REINDEER WITH KING GUSTAF: What to Expect When Your Spouse Wins the Nobel Prize will be gifted to every Laureate and guest this weekend at the Lindau Nobel Anniversary ceremonies! (Can you believe it!?) Author Anita Laughlin will be reading an excerpt at the festivities in Germany on Saturday. Here's an announcement in one of the German papers...

Anita emailed me this weekend that she is still a bit in shock, but she confirmed -- she found a dress for the reading, so all is well! The Nobel Committee translated the excerpt to German, download it here: Buchpassage Laughlin.
