I failed at the local mall Barnes and Noble yesterday, but my brother succeeded at the one in Manhattan. He was super excited to run there on his way home from work yesterday. Holding a paper copy of the review of my book is wild. I can't wait to bring a copy to my Dad today.

I am definitely not that cool, but I truly appreciate the kind words and support.
