More Than Words, Waltham MA

More Than Words bookstore might have been our best stop yet. The Waltham bookstore is entirely youth-run, and they were excited to have the Books of Hope authors as the featured performers at their monthly open mic night.

A solid round of performance by the youth, book sales, new contacts at More Than Words, and free donated Upper Crust pizza. What could be better?

A job well-done:

From our show last night at the Haley House Cafe and Bakery in Roxbury:

Book release party at Somerville Library

The Book Release was a huge success. TWO local TV stations were there and the crowd was standing-room only. Though we got off to a bit of a late start (blame it on poet-standard-time), the BOH authors performed their work with power and emotion, and sold a good deal of product after the show.

Special guest BOH Founder Anika Nailah also read from her upcoming novel.

And as a surprise, we unleashed our secret weapon: tour t-shirts!

SCAT TV is making a full-length special on the Book Release, so hopefully we will have some great video footage coming up to share with everyone.
