Like most authors, we got soft-released, but due to complete awesomeness of you, we still made New York Times Bestseller List for 06/06/2010, a week before the book is officially released.
Thank you so much! This means a great deal to Gordon and me. We’re humbled and we thank you for your support.

Wow, I’m such an addict! I love this series and this book put me on a super high. The minitue I received my copy I took my book and did some pampering. My message on my answering machine that day was “I’m busy right now, if you need me I’ll be on cloud nine.” My compliments to you both, yall did a great job and Congrats on making the NYT bestseller’s list!

Even though you said we didn’t have to, I have been waiting. Its killing me!
I am so sad… after looking in all the bookstores in town, I haven’t gotten a copy yet… I know they just aren’t unpacking boxes quick enough. Hurry you silly bookstores, I need this book NOW NOW NOW
I grabbed my copy last week, and have just finished listening to my Audio book copy! Great Great book!!! Congrats on the NYT listing I know this will help the series last longer, and you guys deserve to be recognized for the writers you are.
I just finished listening to “Magic Bleeds” on my Ipod.
It was sooooooooooooo GOOD.
The narrator was perfect. She had the book’s humor down flat. It felt like she was telling the story, instead of reading.
Thanks for the great story.
Pre ordered it on BN app for iPhone…. then found out that BAM had it on their shelves early, so I had to go buy it naturally, now it is available on Kindle so my dh wants it on that format-frankly I have the other 3 in kindle so I do too.. We are doing our part to support the cause! It is a GREAT cause!!
I grabbed the ebook from B&N because they weren’t putting it out on the shelves fast enough for my liking in the store. It was a wonderful read, you guys did an amazing job. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and your talents with us
the book is totally awesome, you deserve to be on that list!
And it will be higher next week
HURRAY!! Magic Bleeds Rocks. The audio is as usual awesome!! Go Rene.
Congrats!
But seriously, you guys deserve it, you and your books are so amazing!
We have to be the ones thanking you for wrintig such great stories!
Hopefully, Magic Bleeds will climb even higher!
Love from Germany!
you totally deserve this ! That book is awesome and you’re so cool with all of us with snippet, POV, chat, contest, ARC, give away active blog and forum …
I ‘ve read about 200 pages so far…And I love it!
It was definetely worth the wait. The book has been getting a lot of good reviewes too.
Congratulations.
AHH!!! It was FREAKING AWESOME!!! Why are so many awesome things (you guys at the top of my list) in Oregon of all places???
Kind of ironic you made it to the best seller list before your book was “out” though… Still awesome either way and as long as you guys don’t lose money, soft releasing’s awesome
I fought reading your books for some reason. I just kept passing them by despite everyone assuring me they were great. (i hadn’t really been into magic at the time.) I’m so glad no one let up on you and they stayed on me until I finally caved. Each book gets better and that’s very rare with most authors. A lot of PR and Urban Fantasy are entertaining, but poorly written. Your stories have substance to them and they avoid the cheesy, campy style many books fall into. You have great comedic timing and you keep me laughing. I could spend a year reading a book a day about Kate and Curran and their adventures and I think I’d still be happy. Congratulations on a wonderful book and making the bestseller list. You deserve it.
Congrats! You guys deserve it. The book is totally awesome. x
#19? Heh. No suprise there. No surprise there at all.
You guys are awesome and I know MB deserves it. ^^
Good news for you. Great news for us ’cause the book was awesome! I just devoured it in hours of more or less steady reading. Congratulations.
I came home at about 10:30 at night, saw that my copy of magic bleeds had finally arrived and contrary to any kind of rational thought, and in the full knowledge i would need to be up at 6:30am, started reading at about midnight. And finished some time later. THANK YOU! sleep! who needs sleep!
Congratulations! and i love it!
After holding my breath for this book for months (no I never exaggerate
It FELT like holding my breath, trust me) I got it in the morning and finished it that night. I really can’t put into words how much I enjoyed it. I have loved the series since page 1 of book 1 but Magic Bleeds cements it as a permanent favourite forever.
I average 4-6 books per week and I can honestly say that this is the best new release I have read this year. My favourite, just edging out several others that were excellent and hard to beat
Thankyou so very much for sharing your talents with us. These books have it all.
just finished magic bleeds I loved it each book just get better and better.Can’t wait for the next book.Congratulations on making the best sellers list.
Congratulations to you and also for me as my copy arrived today in the UK earlier ( wow wow wow ) than expected. The only down side is I now feel obligated ( bizarre delayed gratification gene kick ) to wait until tomorrow ( my birthday ) to read it. Oh deep thought -that will mean I am totally antisocial until I finish it perhaps I owe it to my family to start reading now………
Thanks again for the joy of your books.
It really is a wonderful book. Congrats!
Congratulations! You guys completely deserve it
In case you didn’t know it, YOU GUYS ARE BIG TIME!!!!!
If you ever came to North Carolina for a signing, there would be twice as many fans as there was for your last signing. Your fanbase is really high here. What can I say, North Carolina has great taste!
I was always told, “Once is luck, twice is skill.”
This is your second time on the NYT, right? See, we KNEW you deserved to be there!
Congratulations on the best seller list, it was never in question. Thank you for Magic Bleeds, It was wonderful!
Congratulations!!!
Thank you so much for this awesome Book, you rock!!
Now you are nr. 16 on that list, as far as i have seen it, congrats!!
It is an awesome book! I don’t have the dead tree version (it’s in transit) but I was able to grab the ebook from Kobo.
You resolved so much without overloading or slowing the pace. It was wonderful! So now to re-read from Bites to Bleeds over this weekend!
Congratulations om making the list.
You deserve it, the book is great and was a pleasure to read.
Thanks for all your hard work.
You deserve it! I went on Tuesday at 2pm to get my copy at B&N and they didn’t have it it, nor did they know when they would get it. I was so frustrated, how do you NOT have a new release out on a release day?!?! When I went in yesterday, their computer showed it in…they had received them yesterday after I left and had yet to get them out. Happily I got my copy and cannot wait to hunker down with it!!!!
Fellow fans…have faith, if your store doesn’t have them in yet…they will!
The book is absolutely fantastic. Congratulations!!!!
Magic Bleeds is awesome! I know y’all put blood, sweat and tears into it and I sincerely appreciate it.
Great Book!
Worth the wait!
Hope you make #1 !
So how many books do you need to sell before publishers put the books in hardcover?
I was up till 4am reading Magic Bleeds, it was amazing!!!!!!!
Don’t be humbled. Nobody deserves it more than you! Your books are awesome. We should be humbled to be allowed to read it
Love Magic bleeds!
Am new to this genre of books but have found your series the best so far. Any chance the Kate Daniels series could become a movie?
You deserve to be on the list. You are the only writer I visit their official webpage. And I am so addicted to your writting currrently that I have read every post and tidbit. Sodly this is my first response, but in my world, you rock. Thanks.
I finished Magic Bleeds and it more than lived up to my expectations. Your series is terrific. I hope I can convey what I like so much- the relationships between the characters, esp (in this book) Kate and Curren. You created complex, proud, lonely and damaged main characters. Most books either break them up or twist them into something else to get them together and then they live happily ever after. You made them so much more interesting by keeping them true to their characters. In my mind- two proud individuals taking a chance and working/fighting through all obstacles to create the home they both want but never had. You made them seem more real by sticking to their personalities but having deciding that love is worth a risk. In an era of selfishness and quick easy divorces and a me me culture-it was refreshing to enter a fantasy world where two people decide what is important and are willing to take a risk and work hard to find and keep it-love- and that made the book for me.
Magic Bleeds is now available on kindle, so I bought my second copy.
Also, the NYT had a little * next to Magic Bleeds, which means that the numbers are indistinguishable from #18.
You go guys! The book rocked!
