Kaleb you actually rock my proverbial socks off :D
I'm so uber happy for you and your book - i shall be having a look at the first few chapters in due course .
You keep on being awesomely hilarious.

p.s. you can post all the Bran Hambric news you like on here i promise you practically all of your loyal fans will be as excited to hear it as you are telling us about it :D

Just downloaded the first four chapters. So far, it looks excellent! Do you happen to know if a Kindle version of your book is coming out? I live in the UK (but I'm American), and like to download the books so we don't eventually have to lug them all back to the US. :) Great writing!!

Hi Kaleb,
I just read the first few chapters and I absolutley think it's awesome.
Congrats on your amazon succes. I'm going to pre-order it right now, and i hope it will arrive here in Holland on 9-9-09. (probably not though).

After seeing that trailer you made for the book last week,,,I was caught in your net Kaleb. Just like that! I'm heading right over to read the first chapter now! Branhambrick.com here I come! (wow...that sounded stupid..)
*epic gasp of shock*

Hi Kaleb!
I just pre ordered your book! And I've read the first few chapters and it's great! I really can't wait to read the rest of the book! Congratulations to your success on Amazon. Clearly, in your video, you were very excited too. It's great to know so many people have already pre ordered it! It would make my year if you could sign the book cover!!!! Congratulations again on all your success.

Sorry I havent pre-ordered it YET, but I will! Cant wait to read it!!!

Pre-ordered my copy! So happy for you Kaleb!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is such great news! I read the first 50 pages the day you released them and have been hooked every since. You have such a gift with writing and I am so happy that your dreams are coming true! p.s. I would absolutely adore a signed copy of the book print! One day far from now when you are on the best seller's list I can show everyone that I have your signature!Keep up the good work!

Hey Kabel (as i was scrolling through the posts, i saw that a fan accidentally typed Kabel instead of Kaleb-and I think it sounds pretty cool...nickname potential???) Loved the first chapters of your book! Cant wait til it comes out! It will brighten my mood seeing as it comes out in the always-depressing second week of school :)

I've preordered on amazon.ca. I look forward to reading it......congrats!

I'm going to preorder it right now. I'm so excited for you. OMG.

The second video actually made me cry. I'm just so happy for you! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

IM SO EXCITED :D

Kaleb,
I just preordered the book. The first couple of chapters look amazing and I can't wait for September. Congratulations!

WOW i love the preview chapters and i cannot wait until it comes out 9/9/09! good job with everything kaleb!! Congrats

Hey Kaleb!
So I just wanted to say that maybe, yes, some (it might be a lot) of Twilight fans who loves you! It is so cool that you are becoming a big deal! Go Kaleb! I hope you have an amazing time over the next couple of months! I cannot wait until 9-9-09!


P.S. As a fellow college student, I think you are amazing with the amount of different things you handle! Blogs, youtube, homework and studying all with a book coming out! Kudos to you! Once again:GO KALEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Kaleb! I'm so happy for you. I just read the first four chapters and I want the rest! Those few chapters were absolutely amazing! I'm impatient for the book to come out. I'm on the verge of pre-ordering. Congrats again. Hope to hear more from you.

Kaleb,
Too cute! I am so completely excited for you! Going to pre-order now...and yes, I would love to be entered to get a signed copy of the cover art. Thank you so much! Can't wait to see how high its popularity is today. Happy Earth Day!

-JUMPS UP AND DOWN-
Go Kaleb!!! I'm so excited for you. =D

Congrats! I want to preorder your book, but my birthday is the week before and I've told my parents to buy it for me... but if they don't I'll be ordering it on my Birthday! either way I'm getting it when it comes out. You deserve this definitely... you're amazing1

I just pre-ordered it! Congrats Kaleb! You are awesome and you should be proud of the wonderful community you have created around you!

WOW Kaleb, congratulations on doing so well with just pre-orders! Guaranteed we'll get you onto the Times bestseller list yet :D

I would love that signed proof btw ;)

Is the release date for BH the same in the UK as in the US?

much love
xxxx

Kaleb, I loved the first few chapters. I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to buy it because I have so many other books on my 'to read' list. However, i just read it and can't wait for it to come out. Congrats!

Good for you Kaleb. I just read the first few chapters and after I write this I will definately be headed to Amazon to pre-order my copy. But please if you see me walking down the street or out with the book please do not jump out of the bushes or from behind a tree to sign it. I really don't like to be scared.LOL.


donna

Congratulations! I just pre-ordered the book on the UK Amazon, and you're pretty high on there too, so kudos! I'm really looking forward to the book. I'm pregnant, and I went for a scan today to find out that my baby's due date is 09/09/09! Talk about ironic, huh? =p

Me too! (I ordered the book from amazon uk that is, I'm not pregnant ; )) Congrats to Kaleb, and to you too =)

I'm so glad ur book is doig well. I can't wait to read it!!

It's up to #448 now Kaleb!!

I am 60 years old and a twilight fan, but just lately I came upon your website and got hooked. I went back to the beginning of your posts and read them all and I am now up to date. I am pre-ordering your book without reading it because of how excited you are and how much I enjoy your writing. Congratulations and keep up your enthusiasm for writing.

Wow, congrats Kaleb! I mean...that's amazing! I speak for all those who ardently follow your blogs, that we are so excited for you. Cheers!

Woahhhhhhhhhhh It just jumped upto 300 something =O

I missed your blog, But Con Grat any who Kaleb! Next you got to hit the Top 100! o.O

Bran at #432

Wow.
Congratulations!
=)

Congrats Kabel!!! I'm really really happy for you!! I'm so excited - you wont believe it! I even told my mum about it (she looked at me like I was crazy).
I would pre-order it. Only thing is I dont think my mum would let and I dont work which means I cant pay for it myself. Another problem is I live in Australia and I have no idea if it will come out here. If it does I will be sure to buy it!! I promise!
Congrats again and it seems that you have jumped even higher ^^^ YAY!!

#374!!! OMG I'm so happy for you!

Oh and Kaleb... Check your ranking for your book now :))))))))

Yay Kaleb! *is so excited for you* :) Congrats on your book being almost published!!

#375 - wow!!!

I mean wow!!!!!

#378 Amazon ranking! Woo-hoo! That's awesome, Kaleb. By the way, I just preordered my copy without even previewing the chapters in advance, because I'm so excited for you (and nothing makes me happier than supporting and reading YA lit, so that's an added bonus!). I'm sure I'll check out the preview chapters anyway, while I'm waiting for the release date. ;)

I just have to say again: I am SO excited and happy for you. Seriously, I was just thinking this week about how you've inspired me in so many ways, one of them being never to give up on my dream of finishing a novel. Congrats on your success (and I'm sure there's much more to come)! It couldn't have happened to a nicer person. :)

YESSS!
FINALLY, an author who will sign my book while I'm hiding behind a tree!
I've been waiting my entire life to do that!
=P

Congrats on your book, what company is it getting published by?

Yay Bran fans!

Please don't worry at all about posting updates onBran Hambric, Kaleb. This is your blog after all, and we're all super excited for you! And I must admit I love your reactions too. ("I sold more books than John Green...for 10 minutes!" :D)

I definitely do want to preorder, but I think I'll wait until I can at Borders or Barnes & Noble, as I have no credit card to use on amazon, haha. The preview chapters left me intrigued. :)

And as far as your recent ratings...NEVER underestimate the power of Twilight fans! lol. You've got us all rooting for you now too. Congrats!

Uhhhh, Kaleb?!
Just checked Amazon...
#378!!!!!!
EEEEEEK.
From writer to writer, I'd just like to take this moment to squeal along with you.
I'm bouncing up and down on my bed, I'm so excited. And it's not even my book!

I am glad that your book is doing so well in the preorders, that is great.

This is the reason that I love giving gifts. I love seeing reactions like yours. I am so happy for you right now! And you know, it's only going to get better! This is just the beginning. The whole of the Twilight fandom, minus the Twilihgters who are crazy and mean, will be rushing to support you.

The best part? When you don't dance around as if you deserve the spotlight. Every bit of this is something you aren't taking for granted, and the happiness is catching.

This made my day. I know it sounds crazy, because it was YOUR day, but I am so happy for you... Congratulations, Kaleb!

(And secret confession... I'm not preordering, nor will I read the sample pages. The sample pages will hook me and make me go crazy, and then I won't be able to get the book until at least the one loan is paid off... I hate being a student, sometimes.)

I'm so happy your Pre-order numbers are going so well.. but not suprized... YOUR AWSOME! I just got off of Amazon after placing my preorder and your ranking was at 383! Thanks for all your fun cookey videos and blogs... keep them comming.

Mandy

Congratulations Kaleb this is awesome!!! I have preordered my copy. I can't wait to get it.
BTW you are so cute in your video, all flustered and humbled. Enjoy this triumph, I am sure it is the start of much more success to come.

For some reason (two little children) the only time I get to be online for any length of time is ungodly hours of the night. Kaleb, I'm so happy and proud for you!! Being a teacher is always nice to see kids succeed at what makes them happy! I'm pre-ordering! Congrats!

Oh my gosh!

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so super happy for you!

Congrats! I'm still so jealous.... such a following already... and because you pull off a great blog and energy to go with it. Wonder if there's any way I can get that to rub off on me.... ;) Look forward to seeing more reviews and prizes you do (and hope to win!!!), and think about it.... now you're in a similar league to your favorite, Stephenie!

What do you have against John Green?! I like his books...

Hi Kaleb~
Bonnie beat me to sharing that you are at #383! How crazy is that?!?!? I think she beat me because I was trying to find a Twilight relevant comparison for you. ;-) While you still have a little ways to go before catching up with the saga (ok, seriously - if you include the boxed set of the books, Stephenie holds spots 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11) - I am happy to report that you HAVE passed all 4 of the Twilight books in Spanish! Congratulations! :-D

Congratulations Kaleb!! It is awesome to see a persons dream come true right before your eyes! You are an amazing role model! Enjoy the lime light!!

Congrats Kaleb!!!!!! Preordered mine yesterday. I'm so excited for you. Can't wait to read the book.

Kaleb, #383 in Book Sales at 11:17 mountain time. Woo and Hoo are in order.
I'm with Pikes Peak Writers based in Colorado Springs, CO. I hope to be in touch with you in the near future.
Thanks.

Hey Kaleb, I just wanted to tell you I'm so happy for you, and although I can't pre-order your book, I definately want to buy it when it comes out :)

I just preordered your book, (along with the new Dan Brown book which is also due in September) and I just wanted to let you know how excited I am for you. I myself am an aspiring author, and it makes me smile to see someone acheive their goals. It is amazing to me that you not only wrote this book, while juggling college, but also that you got it published (especially with the state of the publishing world these days, as more and more people are turning away from books and towards electronics). I read the first 50 pages of your book, and I am very excited for the rest. September can't come soon enough!

Once again, congrats on the success! You deserve it!

Congratulations!
That must be the best feeling in the world!
I hope everything continues to go well for you.

now #557... congrats Kaleb!

Way to go Kaleb!!! It's awesome to see your dreams coming to life right here!

I'm so excited!!! I just pre-ordered my copy. Way to go Kaleb! I can't wait for it to come out. : )

Totally going to pre-order it when I find out how much money I have in my account. I was just wondering though, What books do you suggest to read in meantime while we are waiting for your book to come out? I read pretty fast, I can finish all of the Twilight series in five days....

Amazing! Can't wait to read the rest of your book.

Kaleb! I promise that, when I am able to, I will preorder it!!!!
I can't this is all happening for you!
Really, Kaleb, I am so happy that this is happening for you! You have truly earned it!
Congrats! :)

Kaleb, I am about to share something very deep with you, so please, please, please read this whole thing. Pretty please! =)

I just want to say that you and Stephanie Meyer have been so inspiring to me!

This past year (actually ten years) has been really rough for me. I have been a struggling single mother since my first child was born in 2003. I now have 3 boys, and they are my whole world, but my life has been in such shambles I have not had an opportunity to stop and breathe a minute.

Last year, on April 17th I woke up with the left side of my body not working properly. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I have not worked since that day, but I have spent all the time I possibly can with my children and volunteering at their school.

During this past year, I decided that I was going to stop trying to force everything to work out and just take things one day at a time. Eventually, it will become clear to me what direction my life needs to go.

Enter Twilight...

On the 8th of this month, almost one year to the day I became ill, I rented Twilight the movie on PPV, and decided to read the books. Like everyone else, I breazed through each book in about a day (each), and was hooked. While reading the books and finding out about Stephanie's personal story and journey, I began to have a fit of anxiety. I wondered what was ailing me, until I realized that I was being inspired to write. That was the anxiety.

I have been trying desperately to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life, and how I am going to take care of my kids. Suddenly I read a book and know for sure what I want to do.

I have always liked writing, poetry mosty, but never really considered it as a career.

Anyhoo, once I became obsessed, I started searching the web for Twilight fixes. I found twilight lexicon, and subsequently found your site. Your blogs have had me rolling! You are so funny! I started back from your first blog and have read every single one.

Now, I have already told you how Stephanie Meyer has inspired me. But, I am in awe of you, Kaleb Nation. I am seven years older than you, and I can't believe all of the talents you have, how motivated you are, how funny, how sincere, how thoughtful, how self-confident...shall I continue?

Both of you have inspired me to actually use the time I have off from working to pursue my dreams. You have encouraged me to write, to learn how to design a web page, to investigated YouTube further... You are both amazing people!

I will most definitely be purchasing you book even without reading the chapters you posted, because you deserve it. Maybe I will even buy one for each of my kids, so that we can all read it together!

You are a shining star (as Paula Abdul would say), and I know the world we be hearing much more from Kaleb Nation for many years to come!

BTW, I am going to send this to your email also, cuz I don't know if read both of them.

wow im so excited
i agree wit u im goin to read the first ch's
im pretty sure it will be good though
im a huge book worm

Kaleb is a meanie who hates me! I swear Kaleb, do you PURPOSELY wait until you're sure I'll miss it? I am so depressed right now.

And OM-fricking-K, I can't even watch the video on my iPod! Kaleb's life goal is make me miserable, I swear it. :(

Hey! I have just been checking out your site like since the day of your one year anniversary and was like this guy's cool, so I'm now going through your book and after this (and my homework...bummer) will read the chapters and if its really cool, I'll beg my parents to let me get it and possibly pre-order it! (crossing fingers!!)

But either way, you're extremely cool in my world and may become my next favorite author!!
And btw, I don't mind hearing about your book either, and for those who are putting you down, ignore them, obviously since I love Twilight, but hearing about new authors is always cool too, and if you get the Twilight following, boy are you in for the time of your life!!

LUCK AND I WILL SOO READ YOUR BOOK! :]

I just read the preview chapters. OMG I'm going to Amazon right now to pre-order Bran Hambric!!! It's AMAZING!!!!!!!!

I think I'll cook dinner... Then quickly slide the question into our conversation. I can see it now...

"Wow, Steph, good dinner!"

"Thanks, mama! Now, what about that Bran Hambric, huh?"

lol Trust me, she knows who you are. When I'm laughing hysterically, she tends to worry. That's how she knows you. lol Youtube videos and blogtv make me laugh!

From a fellow writer, CONGRATS! =]

I will preorder the book soon. I really want the signed bran hambric cover.

Hi again Kaleb! (First yaoo, then twitter, now here, lol) My hubby is going to pre-order your book for me in the next few days, as my big 3-0 is coming on 5/13, and I told him I HAD to get your book (even if it's a few months late) and he would be giving me the most EPIC gift ever if he did that for me. He agreed. Happiness!!! Also, I was just on Amazon and you were at #1888. Congrats! I am so excited for you!!!

I'm not sure what that first one is, should say youtube... lmao

Hey Kaleb. can't wait for the book to come out. I've already pre ordered it, and since me and my best friend have pre ordered it, we've decided to make our own Bran Hambric fansite. You don't have to look at it, but just wanted to let you know that you've already got fans and the book hasn't even flown off the shelves yet :)

Maybe it will be worth a lot in a couple of years!! OUHHH!!

Traveled from TwilightMOMS to Twilightguy to read the buzz about this new book. I'm going to check out the free 50 pages all because your video was pretty darn funny. Quirky, humorous and charming. Thanks.

*Pre-orders Book* YAY!!!!
Congrats!! I've had stuff printed in the local paper and thought that was exciting, but this I'm sure is infinitely more amazing!!

It's been pre-ordered!!! :D I can't wait to read it, the preview chapters were great and I know that all the other chapters will be amazing as well! You are definitely an inspiration to other writers, whenever i'm done with college and start to have time to write again hopefully I'll finally be able to finish my book :D Congrats on all your success! p.s. I really love the cover, brandon dorman is a brilliant artist :D

I will preorder as soon as my mom wakes up from her nap! lol :)

btw, just thought I'd mention that RIGHT NOW your book is #1,888 !!
CONGRATULATIONS!! :D
