The thing about ashes is sometimes they give us a phoenix.

I am...really, I am overjoyed, and staggered, and a little bit dizzy over this:

Ashes of Honor is #16 on the New York Times Bestseller List for September 23rd, 2012.

This is the first time I have appeared on the print list (i.e., "the top twenty") under my own name. Late Eclipses and Discount Armageddon both made the list, but they were in the 30s, not the teens.

I am on the print list.

I am a New York Times Bestseller.

I am having real trouble not informing everyone I meet of that fact, including the guy at Starbucks who fixed my pumpkin spice latte. This isn't bragging. It's shock and delight and bafflement and awe.

Thank you all.

Thank you all so much.

Wow.

Yea! You are climbing on the chart on your appearances. I suspect we will see you in the single digits (low ones at that too), eventually.

Congratulations! I think a little bragging is understandable.

seanan_mcguire

September 23 2012, 18:39:49 UTC 4 years ago

Is it bragging, though, or just delight?

Congratulations!

I think it lines up very well:

14 - A FEAST FOR CROWS

15 - A CLASH OF KINGS

16 - A SHES OF HONOR ...

Yaaayyy!

And, about the bragging, you made the NY times print list. Anything below renting a billboard is totally fair game. Celebrate!

Discount Armageddon made the list? I didn't remember that! So this is...four times now, counting Blackout?

Four times, yup.
