This is going to sound cooler than it actually is, but our book, THE DAY WE BLEW UP THE CAT: And other stories from a normal childhood, hit #1 in the “Fatherhood” category, #4 in “Parenting & Relationships” category, and cracked the top 2000 overall in the Kindle store on Amazon just five days after it was launched, and just 18 hours after we started a big Amazon promo. The promo lasts until Thursday, so we’ll see what happens. Very exciting, to be sure, but we’re in this for the long haul, so it’s good to keep some perspective. And in the end it’s not about “units moved” but rather “hearts moved”—and that can’t be measured on any sales chart.
