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.

Yay yay yay! :):):) You are awesome!!!

This (the bestseller-list factor) is why I insisted on biking (about 8 miles round-trip) to our local independent scifi bookstore and buying it on.. day two. I think. First few days, anyhow. We got there a couple minutes before it closed, and I read the book on a plane the following weekend. Loved it.
