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.

Alistair was pointing out earlier how many of your supernatural characters have a day job for a living, and we came to the conclusion this was clearly autobiographical, and we just haven't spotted the pointy ears yet. At which point, there's an alternative to the crossroads theory: there's obviously someone in the Faerie nobility that's still paying off a favour you did a while ago. Admittedly, unnaturally large cats are almost certainly still involved ;-)

Unnaturally large cats are key.
