It's official, A STROKE OF MIDNIGHT is number six on the New York Times list, and on the USA Today list! Very yea!

Huh? How? Why? How?

Who keeps on buying this crap? Honestly, people! *grumbles under breath* If she keeps selling well, she'll just assume that this is what people want to read and she'll never stop. Really, it's enough to make any serious writer want to bash his/her head against the wall for an hour or so.

As far as LKH is concerned, the library is most definitely my friend.

Part of this is also because lesser known, but better writers and works are not getting the exposure, hype, and placement that her books do in the various large chains, when they get published at all. There are a very FEW long series writers frankly out at the moment, and she is one, whose works USED to actually be good.

That also will explain alot, no?

Don't forget, that it's harder for an unknown or new writer to get good PR. LKH can get as many signing tours as she wants, but for someone unknown? They must be lucky, if there's one or two copies of their books in the shelves and not in a pretty hidden place like at the top or the bottom of said shelf.
