The scream that erupted from my office this morning at the break of dawn when I awoke to check to see if my book had made the Denver Post bestseller list after a hugely successful signing event at the Tattered Cover last week most likely woke up the whole neighborhood. Because not only had the book made it into one of the top five coveted spots that the newspaper reserves for Colorado's bestselling paperback fiction books, it was number 2!!!

Needless to say, I have been floating the entire day.
And just as I was about to go to sleep and say goodnight to the most exciting day thus far in my debut book campaign, I discovered that the Canadians also seem to be taking a liking to the book! Amazon.ca has ranked it in the top 100 U.S. fiction books. You know, I always liked those Canadians. Not only for their universal health care and the adorable way they pronounce the words "about" and "out," but now, it has been brought to my attention that they also have impeccable taste in books!
Thanks Colorado and Canada for making what would have been an ordinary Sunday, absolutely extra-ordinary!

L.A. Release Party is a success!
So I know I'm supposed to be blogging about infidelity and cheating and all that, but I couldn't resist taking a short break from such heavy topics and sharing a few fun photos from The Fidelity Files release party last night. It was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who came out!
Me before my very first book signing for my very first book! Do I look calm and relaxed? It's an illusion. I was totally freaking out!
Talking about the book to a room full of people. Very scary! See that beautiful head of brown hair in front of the camera? That's the famous author Alyson Noel, who came to my reading! Unfortunately I was too busy trying to talk to everyone that I failed to get any pictures of her face. Oh well. Next time.
Signing my very first book! What a thrill!
The beautiful book display at the after party.
Hanging at the after party with some of my favorite people. From left to right: Charlie, my wonderful boyfriend, Katherine Carlson, my brilliant writer friend, and writer/director Brad T Gottfred whose movie I helped produce last year.

Window Displays are My New Favorite Thing
Well, the book has finally hit the stores...a few days early, but after a year and a half of waiting, what's a few days right? And how pleased I was to find this lovely display in the window at my local Barnes and Noble where I'll be doing my book signing on June 10th. Okay, "pleased" is probably not the most accurate term. More like jumping up and down ecstatically and making all kinds of strange, animal-like whooping sounds that I had no idea I even had the ability to make. Right there on the streets of the Third Street Promenade. Not surprisingly, I was quickly mistaken for a street performer and tossed a quarter by a passerby.
