I guess it wasn't a fluke

I guess it wasn't a fluke. Because Face of Betrayal is still going to be on the New York Times bestseller list May 17!

And we moved up!

And we are ahead of a James Patterson book! (Okay, one that is two months older, but still!)

Does this make up for the two years it took me to get an agent?

The fact that I had to write four books before one sold?

Being dropped by one publisher because the sales of my second book were not double the sales of my first?

Writing more books that did not sell even after I was published?

Having a few other issues that would not be politic to mention in a public post?

Um, I'm not sure.

But it helps!
