Ha!  That's awesome.  And I didn't even have to hire a pr company and spend 12 grand to become a bestselling author. 

I wonder how many sales that translates to.  Looking over the other names on that list of shorts, I realize I don't really know anybody there.  I'm guessing it's not to hard to get high on the list, but thanks to everyone who bought a copy of the story.

hey, take the accolades where you can get 'em. That's what I say.

When I saw Kim Stanley Robinson's essay at #4 yesterday, I said "Oh, that's going to overtake Brandon's soon," and sure enough...

Hmm, and now Terry Brooks has something entitled "Why I Write About Elves." Gee. Is it really fair for these authors to be putting up essays instead of short stories? Boo!

All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

EUOL will you be selling rights for the Hope of Elantris and the maps and so on you mentioned? If the book catches in Poland, there will be many people asking about such things.
