Thanks so much to Jen Rudyk for taking them. Had I been thinking, I would have taken a pic of the audience: it was a full house. I was very impressed with Griffin, in the blue shirt, who bought a whole whack of books, plus brought in a couple of well-thumbed copies from home to get signed. He asked such great questions and knew a lot about WWII and WWI history. Sergio from Brant blog had been waiting patiently for an interview so once all the books were signed, Jen got a pic of him doing the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin3.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin3-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 85vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin1-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.calla.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/griffin2-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some pics from last night&#8217;s book launch for Standoff, book 2 in my Kidnapped from Ukraine trilogy.
