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.

Here's where I would normally go into great detail about what you do right, and how very right some of it is, and how far above the norm you are, and which of the greats you remind me of....and so forth.

But it's late, and I hurt, and you don't need to hear all that. So:

Thank *you*. You deserve this, and all the success there are to come following this. Just be firm on the casting when they're choosing who's going to play Tybalt on the HBO series. (I lean towards Hugh Jackman, rather than Tom Hardy.)
