I'll stop posting these things here soon, I promise. Wouldn't want to wear out my welcome.

But I had to post this:

I found out at the end of the launch party last night that Before I Wake will be debuting at #5 on the Macleans magazine national bestseller list this coming week!

finding out, at the end of the evening, when all was said and done, that Before I Wake will debut at #5 on the Macleans' magazine bestseller list tomorrow…

Hey, Robert. We never have a problem with a member's success. Good on you for this accomplishment. Don't ever stop blowing that horn. Canada knows about it--now let the U.S. have a dose!

Hey Robert,

Mind if I ask where your located? Are you GTA? I ask for a specific reason. My writing circle has great once a month networking meetings with guest speakers. They are always on the lookout for new speakers. Speakers can sell their books as well. Next Saturday our speaker is JOY FIELDING...there is a huge buzz within the circle. We're pretty excited.

So, are you G.T.A.? Just curious.

Wow, KTC, I wish I were in your writing circle! That’s cool. I’m sure he’ll tell you himself, but Robert’s in BC (although I think he often visits TO).

Robert, THAT’S AWESOME! I’m more excited than ever to get started reading your book. I’ll have to go out and grab a copy of Maclean’s and check it out. A best seller is one heck of an accomplishment.

Super huge CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS to you!!!!!!

Robert, I just read your description of the launch on your web page. It sounds absolutely wonderful. Bet you're flying now! All best wishes for continued success. When does the U.S. edition come out?
