I've been asked to shamelessly self-promote here, and as I am at the end of a ten-day book tour and have been stripped of all shame about self-promotion, this I am happy to do. It's been a surreal first week for Defending Jacob. The book has received reviews ranging from favorable to ecstatic to "Holy crap!" It has sold in obscene, miraculous numbers. And I have been flattered and congratulated beyond all reason. For a guy who is used to a comfortable, obscure, mid-list existence, it's been ... well, who am I kidding? It's been fantastic. Thanks to everyone who has given this book such a remarkable reception.
And while I'm at it, thanks to my friends at Seattle Mystery Bookshop, who have supported me with enthusiasm (and dubious taste) for many years now, since Mission Flats. It is a pleasure finnaly to visit the shop (not store, shop, dammit).
