CONGRATS!!!! I can't imagine how awesome this must feel for you!
Good luck with the launch!
Congratulations! I hope it is a wonderful launch. Thanks for making the world of reading a fun place for our kids!
Congratulations Nathan!! So exciting – I will be running out to buy my son a copy!
Fun little trailer there. Good luck, Nathan!
Awesome trailer, Nathan. Congrats on your new book.
Great trailer Nathan! I will be buying the books for my Nephew…and taking a sneaky aunty peek before handing them over!
1980's fashion! Oh the agony.
Fun trailer, I love the consistency of Jacob's eyebrows through all of them – very cute.
Congratulations on the launch! And even more congratulations to me on the fact that I FINALLY get to read the final book of the trilogy. I've been waiting so looooong. I want to know what HAPPENS!!!
So, I'm very much looking forward to reading your final book with all your usual wit, humor and underlying poignant life lessons. I'm still laughing at some of your lines about reporters in the second book, I expect I'll enjoy the third one just as much.
Congratulations, Nathan! 😀
Congrats, Nathan!
Woohoo! Big congrats on your book release week! I'm so happy for you. 🙂
BTW, I gave your blog a shout-out in my blog post today. Thanks so much for all you do. <3
Nathan,
Just in case this helps.
Don't know whether it's just my old computer, but your blog has a lot of gadgets on it these days and it's been regularly taking me up to 5 minutes to load your blog up and up to 2 minutes sometimes to jump between pages and comments sections, etc.
(This happened for me when you posted the blog with all the mini motion pics on it too.)
I love checking in and reading here so if there's a fix to the slowness on your end, yea!! (If it's just my computer, a new one's not in the budget for a while so I'll suffer through in turtle motion.)
Those book trailers are awesome. So funny. They really capture the spirit of the books.
Congrats!!

Yeah, it loads okay for me but I do have a few jury-rigged things that could cause it to slow down. Unfortunately that's kind of the nature of being a bit of a mom-and-pop blog. If you got a new computer (and have a good internet connection) I think you'd notice a world of difference.
I think the other anons point is that you seem to want more comments, but the gadgets make it difficult for those with slow computers. From your response, not sure you care, though.

It's not a matter of not caring! It's just not easy to fix when I don't have a ton of resources to throw at the problem.
Hey, didn't mean to harsh on you. But can't you get rid of a gadget or two? Anyway, no worries, still like your blog.

Unfortunately the things that slow it down the most are things that would detract if I changed – like the social sharing buttons and the YouTube videos in some of the posts.
