Helen Simonson's Blog: Is the first novel the hardest? - Posts Tagged "pettigrew"
It's official, Major Pettigrew is a best seller!
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand just made #14 on the NY Times Bestseller list. It is also #3 on Indiebound. So my small literary debut has become more popular than I could have imagined. Life has been so busy it doesn't leave much time for reading, so the books are stacking up by my bedside like rush hour traffic. Thanks to all who are reading my debut and buying copies for Mothers' Day!
