Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!

You're outselling Neal Stephenson!

for about 30 seconds, anyway. I think he and Susannah will be kind enough to allow me that half-minute of gloat. ;-)

Heh. Good numbers at amazon right now, too. This is the point in the proceedings where I don't check my own until the first mainstream review gets put up, because CS is in that total dead zone: three months to availability and those who were going to preorder already have.

hate to bear the bad news but...

Actually... I don't think Stephenson has a book called Cartomancy. Either they misprinted the title, or more likely, imho, is that the book you are outselling is Cartomancy by Michael A. Stackpole. ("stackpoole"?)

Most important though, congratulations.

Could be -- Mike's getting excellent reviews and sales for that series, so it's still a wheee! to be outselling him.

(hey, M'e -- you've gots a typo in your list?)
