It's official. I sold my soul at the crossroads.

Like, seriously. How else do you explain Blackout being the first of my books to make the print New York Times list (in position #15 on the Mass Market Paperbacks sub-list) and now making NPR's list of the best science fiction and fantasy of the summer?

In other news, HOLY CORN MAZES, YOU GUYS, BLACKOUT IS ON THE NPR LIST OF THE BEST SCI-FI OF THE SUMMER!!!!!!!

Ahem.

I am very, very excited, as is only natural when INCREDIBLY AWESOME THINGS of INCREDIBLE AWESOMENESS decide to happen. This is so amazing. I am so amazed. Also, there have been confirmed sightings of the Newsflesh trilogy at WalMart, and no matter what you think of WalMart, that's a lot of eyes potentially falling on (and maybe even buying) my books. Dear world: please buy my books. I have a lot of cats to feed.

NPR! NYT! OMG!

Squee.

I think it is well deserved. People are learning your name(s) and spreading the word that the stories you write are good. I keep recommending Feed to anyone who'll listen.

I still wonder quite how you manage to be such a productive freelance in your copious free time. I'd still like to learn how, but the discrepancy is much smaller since a heart condition that causes tiredness is being controlled by beta blockers, and vitamin D deficiency is being remedied. You are an example to aim for.

I've long maintained that if she doesn't write a certain amount (prose, poetry, songs, etc) her head would explode.
