First, thanks to everyone on the forum that liked yesterday’s blog. Thanks for all the positive feedback. For those who were worried that the negative stuff was getting to me, don’t worry. I wasn’t mad, or hurt. I just felt it was time to speak up for all you positive folks. I know sometimes the negative people are so loud it feels like that’s all that’s happening, but the negatives are truly a small, small number of people. I won’t let them get me down, if you don’t let them get you down. Deal?
Second, to the readers that read the hints about THE HARLEQUIN and were concerned that Nathaniel was changing too much; he’s not changing that much. For the one post that worried he’d turn into another Richard (I assume you mean by that, he and Anita would stop getting along well) don’t worry. Nathaniel is simply asking Anita to do things in their relationship that meets some needs that have been neglected. No worries, okay.
Third, MISTRAL’S KISS is number eight on THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST. It was posted on-line a few days back, but truthfully, for me, it’s only real when I see it in print. Old-fashioned of me, but the on-line just isn’t quite as real to me. So thanks to everyone who bought the book, and all the book store people that talked about it. We’re number eight! And if you’ve seen who else is on the list, you’ll know how happy I am to be there. Christmas is a tough time on the list, a lot of heavy hitters slugging it out. Every Merry book has made the list, and every Anita book starting with ten, NARCISSUS IN CHAINS, have made the printed list. Printed list is only the first fifteen in each category. Pretty darn cool, eh? Almost as good as making the list and having the sales figures being even higher than the last Merry book, is the fact that Jon and I didn’t have to tour. Sales are up by a lot, we’ve cracked the top ten of THE TIMES LIST, and we got to stay home. Yea!
