Hello from Jonathan Ball

We hit McNally's bestseller list!

Hello, Reader!

Stranger Fiction has TWO books on McNally's bestseller list this week!

Of course, this is thanks to all of YOU!

It's not uncommon to hit McNally's list if you have a well-attended launch. However, I still wasn't expecting us to hit it due to how we were launching two books. I thought people would buy one of the two and split the sales and dilute them in that way.

But those of you who showed up really showed your support. You not only landed BOTH books on the bestseller list, but they took the TOP TWO slots! Thank you so much for supporting these books.

This is a big deal for us, since we're not only launching two books, we're launching the whole Shared World project, plus these are the first prose books published by Stranger Fiction.

Let's try to keep the books on the list next week!

If you live in Winnipeg, head on down to McNally Robinson! If you don't, you can order from them online and have them ship anywhere!

If you want a signed copy, you can get them straight from me. Signed copies cost more due to the amount of handling involved, but you can save if you buy multiple books from the Stranger Fiction store.

(PSSST. Use the code TOPTEN on the SF store site for $10 off the top of your order. Don't tell my boss!)

Thanks again for all of your support.

The event was great and hitting the lists is a big thrill for us, and means a lot to me.

Stay strange,

Jonathan

PS, if you missed the launch, you can still stream the video here.

It's the best way to help and it's free.

Hello from Jonathan Ball Back in the Saddle of Evil Hello, Reader! I'm back in the saddle of evil. I keep saying this, hoping it will catch on. This time it's me, Jonathan, back after Lyndon's hijacking of the newsletter. Although maybe I shouldn't be! Lyndon's been doing a better job than me lately... A few things I wanted to tell you. First of all: Me, Myself, and Stranger Fiction will be at the Fireside Book Market TOMORROW (December 3). All the info is on this handy poster created by...
