2. We're sick of hearing ourselves talk and can only imagine that all of you feel the same. For this you have our deepest apologies.
3. The Blog Tour of Awesome kicks off today for The Liar Society
. We're giving away a $100 Amazon gift card and some other cool stuff. There are some AMAZING bloggers involved, but we don't want to talk about it too much. See #2.4. Our author copies arrived in the nick of time and we spent all yesterday petting them. It's not nearly as gross as it sounds.
5. Despite the fact that we're thanking our lucky stars to see our book in print, we have to admit we're bummed that only one Barnes and Noble near us is stocking it. Mostly because it leads to conversations like this:
Aunt Mildred: I can't wait to buy your book at Barnes and Noble on March 1st.
LiLa: Oh, yeah...about that. You should probably call first.
Auntie M: Why? Your book is being published isn't it?
LiLa: Yeah, but it's really hard for debut authors to get stocked at chains...
Auntie M: So your book isn't being published?
LiLa: No, it totally IS being published...
Auntie M: Well, then, I'll just go pick up my copy.
LiLa: Maybe just call first. There aren't going to be copies at every single store and they can always order...
Auntie M: You've made this all up haven't you? I always knew you were a couple of liars. Or maybe this is some kind of prolonged fantasy you two have dreamed up. I'm calling your mother!
LiLa: Crap.
6. If we really sit back and think about the fact that our first novel officially releases today and about how far we've come since this post we get all weepy. The truth is, we can't believe how lucky we are that right now, in this moment, we're living our dream. And even better we get to share it with all of these amazing, supportive people we have in our lives.
Thank you for believing in us and our little book.
Thank you for laughing with us, bitching with us and (most of all) hating Gwynnie with us.
Thank you for being there every step of the way so we never, ever felt like we were on this crazy roller coaster alone.
We love you all!
Ok, your turn. What's your truth this Tuesday?

Congrats gals! You rock.
Happy novel release day! I'm so happy for the two of you...Cleveland writers rock! :)
P.S. My arc of your book is making its rounds around my classroom. We're getting a few more copies for the library so my students don't need to fight over it!
Ugh! The book isn't available in Canada until the 15th. The date was switched.
Enjoy the blog tour. I can't wait to follow it. At least that I won't miss out on. :D

Michael

Happy book birthday!!! Congratulations! Kate's going to do awesome, I know it!
CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so excited to read it!
I'm lucky that i live by two HUGE Barnes and Nobles that carry everything. I also live by a smaller one which does not carry everything. A lesson hard-learned when i went to pick up a copy of Paranormalcy.
Congrats!! Kick back with some Champagne (and pearls, of course) and celebrate!
Truth: I cannot wait to read it!
Congrats! I'm buying the Kindle version RIGHT NOW!
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My truth (and it's an odd one). Even though I'm heading to the bookstore to work, I'd rather be at home reading your book and the others I have. And I LOVE my job, lol.
Happy book birthday!!! So excited for you two! Ordering it today. Posting up by the mailbox tomorrow.
I'm so excited for you!!! I hope today is fabulous. Huge congrats, you guys!

Can't wait to go to a bookstore and see it on a SHELF. So. Cool.
Happy Book Birthday!
I'll have to go see if my local Borders has your book. :)
CONGRATS, ladies!!!

Yay for Liar Society hitting the shelves!!
You deserve to be all weepy. It's so damn exciting. I can't wait to go buy my copy today!!!! Much deserved congratulations to you both.
Downloading it tonight!
Truth is, I'm still reading like three books, and I want to read Demonglass, too!
There's just not enough time, is there? ;)
Good luck and best wishes for y'all and Liar Society, girls!
Happy birthday little Liar Society!
Those truths made me wish I'd loosened my belt a little--my stomach hurts now! Very funny. Poor Auntie M. She'll never understand.
My truths? Hmm. I think already basically said it: my pants are too tight. :P
Congratulations Lisa and Laura! Can't wait to get my copy from Amazon!
The day is finally here! Hooray for Liar Society and for you two! We have no chain bookstores left in my town, but I'll get on the Indie store to stock it. Congratulations!!!
My truth: I want my pre-ordered book and I want it NOW. The wait has been killing me. I love you guys!!
Happy book birthday!!! :-)
I couldn't take it, so I just went and bought the Kindle version. Gotta go read!! :-)
CELEBRATION TIME...COME ON...It's a celebration!
There's a party goin' on 'round here
A celebration to last throughout the year
So bring your good times
And your laughter too...
Also pimping you on my blog today.
Enjoy your special day, ladies.
Love... and Tassles,
Lola
YOU ARE BOTH AWESOME.
Enjoy every nanosecond of this moment! I'm so happy for you. :)
Angela @ The Bookshelf Muse
Congrats, ladies...you're both awesome!
I preordered and my copy should be here in the next day or two.
My truths: I'm a little weepy for you both and you KNOW I am not the weepy type.
I would also be willing to make a scene at any B&N who didn't stock your book. I'm just sayin'. It's your call.
LOL at that convo with your auntie! CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is so exciting your book's birthday is finally here!
I'm so excited for you guys! It's THE DAY. Yay yay yay yay yay yay!
So so so so excited for you both!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!
Wow, I'm so happy for you two. It must be a real hard time to believe in reality right now.
Don't worry about B&N. They will pick you up once they know how great you are.
The little conversations you wrote here will be a nice joke ten years from now.

I just got in from out of town & had to drop by and say CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! What a huge day. I got back too late to see if our local bookstore stocks it - I'll check this week and if not, I'll get them to order it in for me :)
YAY! Happy Book Birthday! I'm so excited for you two! *tosses confetti*
Yippee!!
Truth: While reading Writer's Digest at my son's practice, I saw your sweet faces and The Liar Society spotlighted in the Breaking In section and I squealed a little squeal. (Okay, maybe not so little because people looked)
Yay! Happy release day!!! Truth #5 made me laugh out loud...then it kind of made me weep a little. But then I got excited again because...well, I think it's pretty obvious. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Happy release! I'm so happy for you ladies (who are not liars, Auntie M).
Truth: You both are deserving of a TLC Baby Story-inspired vlog. Or maybe Bringing Home Baby or something equally heartwarming. I'm hoping Kate makes her way into many homes and many hearts in the future :D
We love ya right back ;o) <3
Truth... I really want to eat sugar. I started South Beach again and I want a cookie, that's all just a small little cookie. It couldn't hurt anyone right?
Truth... I CAN'T wait to read The Liar Society and to meet you both! You could probably guess that since I won't shut up about it!! LOL
Happy Book Birthday!!
My truth: I'm so ridiculously excited for you two. I have nothing more clever than that left in me today, I'm afraid. xoxo-jess
And I forgot to mention that when I saw Gwynnie at the Oscars I thought of both of you. Then I thought she looked very yellow and kind of reminded me of a solar flare.
That is all.
My truth is that I adore you guys and wish every frickin' bookstore had a stack of The Liar Society (mine didn't, so I looked on the in-store computer for it and made a commotion) Never fear, I will continue my search until I own it!
Happy book release day to two fabulous sister-writers. May it be sweet.
I am so, so, so happy for you and can't wait until the whole world learns how awesome you are. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, fine. I won't leave you hangin', gals. Here's a few more truths for ya.
1. When I finally publish a book, I hope to west hell I have as many awesome people pimping it for me as you've had.
2. In fact, I'm now considering writing a novel set in a private school, just so's I can cajole my lady blogger friends to vlog wearing schoolgirl outfits.
3. No, it wouldn't be one of those schoolgirl novels. Sheesh! *eyeroll*
4. Well, I think it wouldn't, anyway. Um...moving along, then.... *shifty*
9. We should really do that Skype-and-prosecco thing sometime.
847. Trent Reznor should do the soundtrack to The Liar Society movie. He's gone respectable nowadays, so it'd be a perfect fit.
0. If I see TLS at my local bookstore, I'm seriously considering running around holding a copy above my head and yelling, "I KNOW THESE LADIES HAHAHAHAHAAAA WHEEEE!"
4.3. This will, naturally, impress the booties off the bookstore manager, thereby enticing him or her to purchase scads more copies of TLS.
%. You're welcome.
:D
