I just got word that Emerge: The Writer's Studio Anthology 2006, which includes my story "The House of Lancaster," has made the bestseller list. Woo-hoo! Yipee! Happy dance time!

Okay, I'd better explain before this gets out of hand. Yes, Emerge has made the top ten best selling list, but there are a few qualifiers I feel truth-bound to mention: the list is for the Simon Fraser University Bookstore; in Harbour Centre (downtown Vancouver); for recent releases; by SFU authors.

But still, this does mean that somebody did buy it. Actually, somebodies (plural): I'm assuming here (yes, I know the dangers of "assuming") that because there was a book lower on the list (Emerge came in at number nine), people bought at least one more copy of Emerge than number ten.
