dheers plaus -- (cheers and applause) >> stephen: thank you. thank you, stephen, stephen, stephen! >> stephen: thank you. by the way, by the way, all of this, all of this came in an amazon box to protect the watch battery that i ordered. needless to say, needless to say edan la pukei has become a publishing sensation sign --,000 copies of california in three days, i assume her followup is about a young woman battling to overcome a crippling case of carpal tonel syndrome and her agent is also negotiating the film rights. i hope it comes out soon so i don't have to read the book. (laughter) obviously no one was more pumped than lapuki herself who said getting the colbert bump has left her with a mixture of elation and nausea. yeah i got to say, a lot of ladies say that. by the way, amazon is a sponsor of tonight's show. so i accept your apology, gentlemen. here now is the woman who made it all possible for me to make it all possible for her, please welcome california author edan lapuki. thank you so much. (cheers and applause) >> all right. all right. congratulations. congratulations
