Hi lovelys!<\/p>\n

What a first week our BEAUTIFUL baby had! We hit #3 overall on Amazon, have been #1-2 on iBooks all week, and are the #1 eBook in most English-speaking countries!! On top of that, the paperback is selling like hotcakes, and Simon & Schuster is sending out more as fast as they can! HOLY WOW. We aren’t kidding when we say if you were all here we might get a little handsy.<\/p>\n

\"That's<\/a>
That’s our BASTARD at #1 on iBook most of last week, and still holding strong at #1 in Fiction & Literature!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our launch party was held at Maggiano’s<\/a> last week, and we had a fantastic turnout. The room was at capacity, and the food was scrumptuous! A huge thanks to Maggiano’s for putting up with our antics, to Mysterious Galaxy<\/a> for hosting books sales (the Redondo Beach store has signed copies!), and to the folks who came (some of them driving a LONG way to join us) and celebrated with us. For the sake of some identity protection, we don’t want to post pictures of everyone who came, but it really did mean so much<\/em> to us. *tacklehugs*<\/p>\n

\"Look<\/a>
Look at all those hot bastards<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Look<\/a>
Welcome! They put us in the Bella room (giggle)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We aren’t sure what we love most about this picture, whether it’s BB’s Angels, or the mirror showing an entire room of people trying to get their picture. Lo looks eight feet tall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"And<\/a>
And the night slowly turned a little more saucy . . .<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
