BLOOD NOIR is number one on the New York times hardback fiction list, it will be in the paper itself on the week of June 15th. It will be on line soon, or is on line as I type this. We are the number one bestselling fiction book in the country this week. We’re #2 on the USA Today list behind THE LAST LECTURE, which is nonfiction. Which means we are the top selling fiction book in the country right now. I’d hoped, but these kinds of numbers . . . what can I say, but, wow. I know I should be all cool about it, and say something witty, but my honest first response when my editor Susan called to tell me, was, “You’re shitting me.”
Yeah, that was what I said. I couldn’t believe it. I’d let myself want it, and hope for it, but to actually get it was amazing. There are some pretty heavy hitters on the list right now, so I was almost afraid to hope too hard. You know, the harder you hope, the more you want, the bigger the let down if you don’t get something. But we did get it.
I was excited, and beside myself, and damn near dazed with the news. Now, we just got off a plane and are home. We had an incredible event in Phoenix. I’ll blog about it in more specifics later, but tonight’s blog is about the news. BLOOD NOIR, Jason’s book, is number one. How cool is that?
Thanks to everyone that bought the book. I wrote it, but it is on the list because you guys are buying it and reading it. From me and my imaginary friends, thank you.
