Mood: ecstatic
Music: Talis Kimberley, "Underpass Mary."

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.

Seriously, you could.

I used Zazzle to make my t-shirt for _The King's Lute_. I had the artist's permission to use the album art, and above it I wrote "I made an album!" You could totally do something like that. It cost me I think about $30, but I put writing on the back as well, which is extra.

Zazzle got it to me in about a week, as I recall.
