HUGE NEWS! Armed & Magical came in at #8 on the Locus Bestseller List for August, officially making me a National Bestselling Author! Locus is the magazine for the science fiction and fantasy publishing industry, and their bestseller list is compiled from U.S. and Canadian sales from bookstores including Barnes & Noble and Borders.
Raine's adventures will continue! My publisher has bought the next two books in the Raine Benares series. I've just finished writing The Trouble With Demons, and will get started soon on the fourth book in the series Bewitched & Betrayed.
Raine in Russian! AST Publishers in Moscow bought the Russian translation rights for both Magic Lost, Trouble Found and Armed & Magical! Both books will be printed first in hardcopy and then in paperback.
Could you all do me a really big favor? If you've read Magic Lost, Trouble Found or Armed & Magical and loved them, please spread the word. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, blog buddies. Mention the books in your blogs and LiveJournals. Post a review on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The more the merrier. And if your favorite local bookstore is sold out, ask them to order it for you. They'll be glad to.
