SCOTTISH PRISONER on the NYT Bestseller List!

I just saw this announcement on Diana Gabaldon's Facebook page:

NEWS!

THANK YOU! Thanks to all of you who've bought and been enjoying THE SCOTTISH PRISONER, I've just been told that the book debuts at #8 on the New York Times Bestseller List!!!

Moran Taing! (that's Gaelic for "Thank You"!)

When I commented on this on Compuserve, Diana said,

I'm delighted, and the publishing people are beside themselves. <g> They also told me that the first print run has sold out and the book's already gone back to press. Also excellent news!

This is fantastic news!! Congratulations to Diana, I think it's well-deserved, and I'm thrilled for her that the book is doing so well! <vbg>

If you want to offer your congratulations to Diana, you can post on Compuserve, or on Facebook here.
