  Sun of Suns is a bestseller!
Posted by Karl on Monday November 05, @08:22AM
SoS has made the Locus Bestsellers list. This is a list that tracks the SF/Fantasy marketplace in particular. The data are from August, less than a month after the book was released; and as far as I know, sales have remained pretty steady ever since.

SoS isn't my first book to reach this list; Ventus did, right before 9/11. The paperback edition of Ventus came out right after 9/11, and had the wind knocked out of it by the fallout of from that attack (as I'm sure every other book published at the time had happen). Hopefully things will turn out better this time.

The thanks are, of course, entirely due to you guys, the readers. Anyway, I'm delighted to see this. Sun of Suns is on its way to being my most commercially successful book so far.
