I haven’t the faintest idea what this means, but it sounds good.

Disabled

According to my editor, Warrior and Witch hit the Barnes & Noble mass market bestseller list at #37. Bookscan, the program that tracks point-of-sale at many stores, puts me at #10 on the fantasy bestseller list, and #4 for mass-market fantasy.

I am completely lacking in the experience needed to translate those facts into something meaningful, but damn, they sound good. And if my editor’s e-mailing me about them, they’re probably good enough to be worth taking note of.

So yay!

    I was plugging your books to nerdy band, academic, kids during their Office Aid period today.

    They were shocked that a grown up played WoW, and that I new a famous author hehe

    (and they really liked your real last name, though they couldn’t pronounce it worth a damn)

    That certainly does sound good. Congrats!

    Woot! While I do not understand what those number signify in reality, either, I agree they sound shiny.

  7. sapphohestia

    That’s wonderful. Woot!

  8. jimhines

    It sounds very impressive to me. I think it means you’re required to go out and celebrate!

    I believe the appropriate response is as such:

    W00t!

  13. kitsune_zen

    Rock on with your bad self!

    (and I haven’t even bought my copy yet…will be doing so tonight ;> )

    Well, I’ve no point of reference either, so I say sounds totally awesome. (In truth, I think it probably is pretty awesome actually. 🙂 ) …I picked up my copy on Monday (they had to dig through a box for 10 minutes to find it for me, too…;) ) and hope I have time to read it soon….but it might be a while….
    Anyway, congratulations on much awesomeness!

  15. buzzermccain

    Yay!

    Actually, to put this in perspective, I think you’re actually doing even better than those numbers would seem to indicate- there were a *whole bunch* of big books that came out at the same time- Gaiman’s Anansi Boys is one of the 3 above you in fantasy MM, and in hardcover Gaiman’s Delicate Creatures, Pratchett’s WinterWhatever, a new Bujold, a new Laurel K Hamilton (though that was probably counted in the horror figures…) etc, were all out this week. You are batting well against the heavy hitters.

    That being said, there aren’t *that* many new fantasies that come out in a week, so that must be factored into those numbers.

    This is where you shrug and, modestly, say “That’s just the way i rock it, yo.”

    (“Marie Brennan threw the horns?” “Yeah, dude, she’s fucking metal.”)

    Right on!1 Woot!1 Etc!1

  18. bakkhos

    That *does* sound good! Congrats!

  19. selenya
