Lucky #21

You all have my very most sincere thanks.  I got a call from Tom Doherty, CEO of Tor, about an hour ago.  It appears that we were not only successful at getting on the New York Times Bestseller list, we were several magnitudes more successful than I dared hope.  I had thought that maybe we would be able to hit #35, last number on the adult hardcover list.  We actually came in at #21. 

This makes THE HERO OF AGES the #2 fantasy book of the week, behind Bob Salvatore's new book, and marks Mistborn Three as one of Tor's most successful fantasy new releases of the year.  (It might actually be THE most successful new Tor fantasy of the year.)

This happened because of you.  Thank you so much for reading my books.  Hitting the Times list is a little thing, really, when compared to the enormous privilege it is to tell stories for a living and to have you all as readers. 

Thank you.
