You KNOW you've hit it big...

...when *libraries*, in a single American city, stock up on 1000 copies of your book and brace themselves for the onslaught by saying you can't reserve a copy ahead of time, it's first come first served.

And it's STILL a month before Harry's official release date...

I've been reading your posts with interest over the last week or so, and I have to say you are building this book up for me! I hadn't heard of you before but I will def be checking it out, assuming its out in the UK?

Thank you - I think it's available for orders from the US, currently, but if you want to start on things available in the UK there's "the secrets of Jin SHei" and "Embers of heaven" to start with, your local bookstores should have those or else be able to get their mitts on them quickly...

A mere thousand copies? The wimps. My library system, which represents 3 or 5 counties in my city, has 1384 copies on order (I just checked) in print, with 1697 holds (reserves). There are 159 orders for the audio edition, with 114 reserves or holds on those. The figures cover the childrens, young adult, and adult collections.

Um... er... It's HARRY POTTER that's in the 1000s, folks... I am not up in those leagues... [grin]

But I REALLY appreciate the vote of confidence...

I've been chuckling over that, Alma! But what the heck--take 'em where you can get 'em.

We can dream.

I ordered mine back in March. It will be waiting for me at the bookstore at midnight. Hooray!

Me too, but your midnight is my, much more civilised 9am! *G*
