Wow.
I just learned that the release of SHADOWLAND has landed me at #17 on the USA Today Bestsellers list, and at #5 on the New York Times Children's series Best Sellers List and I couldn't be happier--more gobsmacked--more amazed--or more grateful!
Truly.
Since it's the third book in the series it was no longer eligible for the individual NYT best sellers lists like before, and yet, with only three books out, it was directly competing with series titles featuring as many as six books or more!
And there's just no denying the huge part played by YOU!
Your enthusiasm, excitement, and support went a long way toward making this happen, and I just want to thank each and every one of you for being so dang awesome! Your letters, e-mails, messages, art work, videos--all of it--never fails to make my day--and I just want you to know how much I appreciate it!
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
Alyson

Hi Alyson!
ReplyDeleteI just got my very own copy of Shadowland a couple of days ago. When I dropped by my local book shop on release day they couldn't order it yet. Apparently, we're a bit slow here in Germany. But on Monday I could finally pick it up. Since then I read as much as I can every day. Today I even read it during my lecture about German pop literature in the 1980s. Shadowland is simply far more interesting ;o)
Thanks for writing these awesome books! Keep them coming! :o)
Love,
Kathi
Alyson!

I'm so thankful for you and all the wonderful writers out there, and I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving!!

ReplyDeleteJust finished Shadowland, and all I can say is wow. It's a really good and I cannot wait for the next book! I don't wanna give anything away to people who haven't read it yet, so I'm just gonna say I got nervous around the Jude parts, but really liked the ending. Bye! ~Hannah
