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.

*does snoopy dance of joy*

And you know? Blackout may be the first of your books to make the NYT list but I would bet serious folding money it won't be the last. Now that the world is getting to know the awesomeness that is Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire, I foresee many more books hitting the NYT lists.

Deservedly so.

Normally I use either my Cat icon or a Newsflesh icon but the Kermit icon is so appropriate for what I am doing right now

It's the first to make the print, but the third to make the list.

Ooo-even better. And I foresee many, many more books to come on the list.

We can all brag -We knew her when and she is just the same today as she was back then, only more famous and even more fabulous! because I have no doubts your cats will keep you in line. That is what cats do best. Keep their humans humble. :D
