Amazon.com has bestseller categories for every type of book. The categories follow the BISAC system (
Book
Industry
Subject
and
Category, if you were wondering). Anyway, in the
Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy > Humorous Bestseller list, guess who is #18?
That's right! It's
The Wrong Sword.
Granted, it's a smallish category. But that still means I am on the SAME AMAZON FRONT PAGE as books by Ben Aaronovitch, Diana Wynne Jones, Neil Gaiman, and - yes! - Terry Pratchett. (When you're up there with the Brits in Humorous Fantasy, you're automatically in the Big Leagues.)
And since most browsing shoppers only check out the first page of these lists, being #18 out of #20 is a Big Deal.
