I have been receiving a lot of great news recently, so I thought I would share it here. Dangerous in Diamonds<\/i><\/b> made the New York Times<\/i> print list at #15 its first week out. It was also on Publishers Weekly<\/i>\u2019s list, and was #41 on USAToday<\/i>! These are my strongest bestseller rankings ever, so I am very excited. I even broke onto The Washington Post<\/i> list at #8, which is a first for me.<\/p>\n
I received the good news while I was out of town. I took a trip with my sisters, to show them my favorite haunts in Italy. We spent some days in Rome and some others in Florence. It was a special time for us, when we could just be together for a week. Two of my sisters had never been to either city, so I enjoyed taking them around and being the tour guide. It was exhausting too, but in the best kind of way.<\/p>\n
News about the lists starts trickling to publishers and agents on Wednesdays of each week, and that is when the phone calls began. I was six hours ahead, so it was late at night, but I had not gone to sleep because I was hopeful. The next day at dinner we all shared some champagne to celebrate.<\/p>\n
I sincerely thank the readers who supported me with this book and the booksellers who did too! It has been a wonderful two weeks as a result, and I am very grateful.<\/p>\n
