My splendid editor, the one responsible for reprinting the Secret Country books, who is known hereabouts as [livejournal.com profile] sdn, emailed me today to let me know that the Firebird edition of The Secret Country has outsold the original Ace edition.

I am simultaneously startled and very, very smug.

I suspect that in another month or so the pall cast over the first two volumes by the circumstances of their purchase will have evaporated and I'll be ready to read them -- and also to buy the third volume.

It's because it's good and it's not what everyone else has out there.

I'm really glad to hear it.

Did she tell you I'm going to do a blurb quote for Tam Lin?

Woohoo! In some small way, I feel I've contributed. I sell it all the time at the bookstore I work at, and I've given no less than seven sets as gifts.

One of those is me, I think.

Someone, somewhere in LJ (might have been [livejournal.com profile] papersky quoted the opening of Tam Lin, and I went haring off to Amazon full of "must have". Realised that no, really, I couldn't have, and decided to dip my toe in The Secret Country instead.

I'm enjoying it very much; the remaining two volumes will have to be on my next Amazon order. And does this really mean that later there will be Tam Lin as well? Excellent news all round.
