May I squee just a little bit?

Yesterday I posted some pictures about the book that came out Friday. I did not mean them as ads. The community here at DU is about my only 'gay outlet' as I don't do much outside the house and wanted to share with some friends who knew me.

The book came out yesterday and it hit #1 in Canada, Australia, Germany, and the UK. We're at #3 in the US. (These are based on Amazon sales.)

We got our bestseller tile on AllRomanceebooks today.

We also made the list in Spain where we're #85 in Kindle Store - Foreign languages - English - Romance - Not just gay romance, all romance.

This is a pretty big deal and I wanted to share with friends. Thank you for your time.

Don't let them get you down!

It's got to be hard enough as an author dealing with literary criticism, to put up with flack of your sharing your successes.

Some great reviews of your book (and some tough ones):

All we who write love to let others know of our success, and if we're smart we celebrate every other! Congratulations!
