Thank you, Worldwide!

Oh, my! I just heard from my editor at Worldwide Mysteries, which publishes mass market paperbacks of previously published mysteries - and he told me that their edition of Mew is for Murder sold 17,232 copies! I don't think I've sold that many of anything ever. Maybe I shouldn't admit that, but it's true. Now Worldwide is offering a lovely mass market edition of Cattery Row, so here's hoping this is a trend!

Thank you, Caroline! I hope it's not too crass to blog about sales but this is BIG NEWS to me. I'm so grateful to Worldwide for publishing an affordable and also really cool-looking edition of my mysteries - and also, of COURSE, to Poisoned Pen Press for publishing my mysteries in the first place!

I love these books and I've just started the last one. I hate for it to end. I'm ready for MORE!!!!

It's wonderful news on the sales!

Thank you! I'm really touched and honored that people read them. I mean, they're fun for me, you know?

And not to worry -- I plan on sending the revised manuscript of "Probable Claws" back to my editor soon so here's hoping!

You can blog about anything you like as far as I'm concerned. It's fun to hear how much a book I like sold. Chris

Thanks, Chris! I think most people don't know how few books most of us (well, me) really sell... so this really is sort of big news.
