...BREAKING NEWS

Belfast Telegraph releases details of top-ten best sellers at Waterstones.

Go Jo Zebedee and Abendau's Heir.

 

[HareBrain]

Great stuff. And it's more in focus than the others, too!

 

[Stephen Palmer]

Nice!

 

[Susan Boulton]

Very Nice!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Great stuff. And it's more in focus than the others, too!

Of course it was - my mum took the pic!

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

Exciting news!

 

[DrMclony]

Awesome! Congratulations to Jo and to Tickety Boo Press!

 

[Parson]

Jo, this must at least put you in the running somewhere in the best selling books in N.I.? Am I right?

Hmm. I've heard of Jo Zebedee and Tickety Boo Press, but who are Emily Bronte, and Penguin?

I'm not sure, but I have had two great signing events so far and a lot of local support.

A blow in, Thad. She'll be forgotten in five minutes.

Suitably enigmatic, Jo. Do you speak of Jo Zebedë or Emily Brontë? (Or does modesty forbid you to answer that question?)

 

[Warren_Paul]

In the Top Ten! Congratulations!

Ok Jo, enough's enough. You told me you were snowed under with marketing work.. but heck! How many muffled telephone calls did you make, and blackmail letters did you send out? Who's pocket did you have to line to arrange that one ... How many bottles of wine did you deliver to Waterstones? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!

Oh... wait... wrong kind of marketing. Sorry
Well done, lady, I truly hope all the graft and late nights are paying off for you.

I truly hope all the graft

I thought that was the wrong sort of marketing....

Eyes the tied up booksellers in the hall cupboard nervously.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I imagine that they eye you nervously, when you open the door to feed and water them.

Most Waterstones people in my experience (I worked for them for 8 years!) are keen to do author events, especially local authors. But there are hurdles to leap over...

Many hurdles. I was very lucky () but they, and Easons, have been tremendously supportive.

Wonderful news!!

Congratulations, Jo (a bit belated)! Well deserved.
