    I preordered it through BN.COM about a month ago for my Nook. I haven't checked to see if it is there yet. I'm also going to order a hard coppy on my next Amazon order

    I got my story backwards Brianna. I guess I order it through Amazon already because when I got home today there it was. I checked to see if I ordered the ebook yet and hadn't so I ordered it tonight. When I ordered it was still in pre order status for some reason. Anyway I've already started reading it. It is very interesting and hard to put down. I checked as a like and it is now on my Facebook page. I'll be alternating between your book and Sammy Hagar's the next few days.

    Anyway Great Job!

    I see you work for the South Coast Repertory. I think that is also pretty neat.

    Thank you again, guys! It's scary of course, but also really exciting.

    @Juan: I'm not too worried. There's always going to be assholes out there. It's the internet. It affords people the anonymity to be douchey. Plus AOL users can be a little older and more along the conservative side, so they're very set in their ways/prejudices. For the most part though, people have been really great about it all. I think I'm just growing a thicker skin. Reading negative stuff about me used to make me sad; now I'm just vaguely amused and don't feel the need to respond to every negative comment to set the record straight.

    @laverite: I'm sure I could find the link and PM it to you. Was it the one where CNN came and filmed me in my natural habitat, or the one where I interviewed in their studio? They had me on two segments. I hate rewatching the TV appearances though; I was sooooo chubby at that point, and TV cameras make it even worse (bad body image, haha).

    @Dagney: Yes, I've had three NPR interviews so far, I think (in Texas, Baltimore, and Miami) and a few more on the way! <3 NPR. Two were pre-taped and one was live today for an hour (the one in Baltimore, WYPR with Dan Rodricks).

    @Loz & @WhereWasI: It's available on Kindle on Amazon as of today :)

    @I quit!: I'm glad you're enjoying it! I see you're in California and you know SCR! I wonder if maybe we know/knew some of the same people in the same congregations! But yeah, I love it at SCR and the people are the best I've ever worked with. I just really love what I do there, and getting to work in theatre.

    Briz-

    It was the segment in which you were living in your natural habitat. But I'd really love to watch both, including the studio segment!!!

    We just might know some of the same dubsters Brizzzy. My wife still goes to a congregation in Anaheim. I'll l PM about it.

    Excellent. What an adventure. Glad you could write about it and build it into something productive for you. If you ever do a book signing in San Diego county, then let us know.
