According to my agent, Goblin Hero [Amazon | Mysterious Galaxy] has gone back for a second printing.

Not only that, but I talked to my editor this morning, and Goblin Quest [Amazon | Mysterious Galaxy] is now in its third printing.

None of my print runs have been enormous, and I'm not one of these authors who sells out a print run in the first week of release. But this is still very good news. It means people are still buying the books. It means my publisher has enough confidence in me and the series to invest in a few thousand more books. And hopefully, it's one more sign that my career is on an upward slope. Maybe it's not as steep a slope as I'd like, but I'm okay with slow-and-steady.

ETA: And now, I see a delightful review of Goblin War by Sherwood Smith, over at the SF Site. Today just keeps on getting better!

ETA II: Another e-mail, this one from Bakka-Phoenix. Guess who was number three on their April mass market bestseller list? And also number four. And number seven, too. That's right, all three goblin books made their April list. Looks like that book launch I did with them at Ad Astra paid off! :-)

Looking at the bookscan numbers, sales are starting to fall off for Goblin War [Amazon | Mysterious Galaxy], but that's to be expected. The book's been out for two months, after all. The initial thrill has passed.

But hey, if anyone in the Grand Rapids area wants to help push book three toward another print run, I'll be doing a signing at Schuler Books on Alpine on May 8 at 7:00 pm. I'll probably be doing a chat and a little reading, as well as signing books. Who knows, I might even give folks a sneak preview of The Stepsister Scheme.
