"It was an overwhelming turnout," said Smith, "and goes to show how On the Job is hitting the mark with so many people. The room was filled with such enthusiasm and I thank Sharon Woodhouse and Lake Claremont Press for hosting the event on my behalf. What great momentum for this project."
Among Lake Claremont's most energetic book release events, the party included a touching personal speech by Smith as well as a book signing. Many thanks to the folks at Chief O'Neills and all those who made the trek to the city's North Side to celebrate the book and its author.
On the Job book release party attendees listen as author Daniel P. Smith addresses the energetic and overflow crowd.
