My first bestseller list!!
I hit #10 on the paperback list for Locus (data gathered, apparently, in October)!
Okay, so Locus focuses on specialty SF bookstores, but still, look at this list!
PAPERBACKS
1) Night Watch, Terry Pratchett (HarperTorch) 1-
2) Exile's Honor, Mercedes Lackey (DAW) 1-
3) Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson (Tor) 21
4) American Gods, Neil Gaiman (HarperPerennial) 137
5) War of Honor, David Weber (Baen) 1-
6) The Sky So Big and Black, John Barnes (Tor) 1-
7) Burndive, Karin Lowachee (Warner Aspect) 1-
8) The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Morgawr, Terry Brooks (Ballantine Del Rey) 25
9) Cryptonomicon, Neal Stephenson (Avon) 3-
10) Digital Knight, Ryk E. Spoor (Baen) 1-
Only one other new author (Karin Lowachee, with her second book) on that list -- and all the rest are big names! Like, my name is on the same list with people like Weber, Stephenson, Brooks, Pratchett, and Lackey!!
Sweet!

Congratulations!
Digital Knight...
Yes, DK was straight to paper. This is normal for new authors; HCs are for successful authors, as a rule. Mountain Magic (which contains my collaboration with Eric Flint) is also coming out as paper (because the other 2/3 of the book is reissues of Drake's Old Nathan stories and Kuttner's Hogben stories).
I'm sure that a good deal of any success I have will be due to my Great Old One online omnipresence, yes. :)
congrats!

Now if you could have just bumped Terry Brooks off.........
But I *like* ...
no subject
(I had paused from my re-reading of Night Watch to check email and saw in an Amber post that you had an LJ, and there it was again.)
And this looks like a real list, of actual sales ... (I once got onto the Canadian college radio album list without selling a single album there. (One station listed my thing as #1 for a week and #9 for the next week. I suspect whoever filled out the form for listing things just took the album titles from a stack of CDs that people like me had sent in. Either that, or they really loved it until they realized I wasn't Canadian.)) So doubly congrats, and have fun with the money.
Congrats!
