New York Times Best Seller
I won’t lie. When The Blinding Knife hit The New York Times Bestseller List at #11, I was super excited — but I was also like, “Dang! So close to the top 10!”
So this time around I was really hoping to sneak in at maybe #9. As you can see above, you guys blew the doors off. Thank you so much to my fans and to Orbit Books for making this happen!
