I finally got around to looking at Author Central today. It turns out that in the week of January 17-23, I sold 26 paper copies of Slow River in St. Louis, MO. That many in one week in one city is Not Usual. (That is, I don’t think it is–but, hey, who knows, maybe once I have a year’s worth of data I’ll find this kind of thing just sorta happens sometimes.) So what’s going on? A book club? (Strikes me as the wrong time of year for college reading list purchases.) Anyone want to enlighten me? Meanwhile: cool! I hope you all enjoy it. And thanks to the booksellers who made it happen. (A special shout-out to Left Bank Books, the only bookshop in St. Louis I’ve ever done a reading/signing at, run by the ever-fab Kris Kleindienst.)

Looks like you're being book clubbed: http://www.left-bank.com/event/lesbian-reading-group-slow-river-nicola-griffith
Interesting, EJP; I was going to guess that it was an environmentalism reading group, but it looks like a lesbian reading group. Anyway, good luck to them. I am not in a reading group, & every time I try to start one, it fizzles. Sad.
EJP, well, that has a nicely goes-around-comes-around feel to it. Good. Thanks.
I didn't know about this. Next time I see Kris I'll thank her on your behalf.
Congratulations on selling those books!
Mark, please do!
Clearly St. Louis has terrific taste in books.
