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.

Well, if you're going to sell your sould, the crossroads is the place to do it.

*coff*

However, perhaps we can attribute this to sweat and tears. Congratulations! I didn't know NPR did/was doing a list of the best summer SF but how very cool that Blackout is on it. Good news about Walmart, too. (Yes, I do have mixed feelings about them, but potential audience out weighs distate for the chain in this instance.)

It's particularly good that all of the trilogy is available for late-comers.

Agreed, although I worry about people picking up older editions of Feed, before we changed the title of book two.
