Hi Simon,
I found your blog via the Australian_Writers_online group. you have some really interesting and useful information in your blog.
Thanks for sharing it. And congratulations for making #1 on the book stores list. Thats a massive achievement.
All the best,
Awesome! When I conquer the planet with my lasers from China, I will leave Fantastic Planet standing. Like a statue to you, except it will be a store rather than a representation in stone of your features.
Congratulations!
Ok, you beat Joe Haldeman. That is pretty cool. Score one for unserious. :)
Thanks everyone. It was a great feeling, because while earlier Hal books have been on various bestseller lists either at Dymocks or Fantastic Planet, none of them have ever been #1
As any series goes on you either get people eagerly awaiting the next release or ignoring new books completely (in which case the series peters out.)
So, Hal's obviously no peter.
Fantastic news - take that Pratchett!
