Thanks to all who have very generously purchased their copy of Emissary - I am so grateful.
You'll be pleased to know that your urgency has helped to see book 2 just smash its way into the Top 10 nationally, debuting at #4 after just a few days' trading. HarperCollins is understandably delighted and I know the thanks are due to all my wonderful readers out there.
Thank you, thank you!

CONGRATULATIONS FIONA!!!! I haven't bought the book yet but you can count my copy in the next tally.
Can I ask who can in above you? They probably are not as well written books as yours but can not help but wonder? If not where do you get your figures from? I am always curious as to where they are found.
Congratulations again
Love Ailsa

Congratulations!!
(Not suprising at all though!)
I once told my friend that your books where like written Crack and she didn't believe me (This was when I first picked up your books) and she laughed at me.
I had given her Betrayal. Next day she was texting me like a stalker going 'gimme gimme gimme'. Needless to say she flew through them like wildfire.
No one nay say's when i say a book is like Crack anymore.
Got to get our fix.

Love it! I'm going to tell the publisher - marketing may even ask if it can use that line! Thanks Melayna for the big grin this gave me.
Ailsa, sorry I don't know. Usually I do. It will probably be the usual suspects.....the big guns from overseas although I'll check. I just haven't had time and only found out today and let's hope by the next tally there'll be no one above, eh!
I've just done Bodyjam....utterly exhausted. Must get to bed because I'm flying to Sydney tomorrow.
Look forward to seeing a couple of you from the Board perhaps? All best, F

No worries. I live to please.
I will tell you this though. I've probably gotten 7 different people to read your books and not one of them has been disappointed.
Well... not with your books them complaining that I don't have my copies to lend them and they have to buy there own isn't really in your realm.

I will be in that line at the 3pm siging Fiona! I will be the one with the big cheecky grin on my face!! :lol: from the excitement, of course :lol:

Hey thats fine Fiona, I was so excited all day about meeting you and then waiting in Borders for you to come to your table was torture I don't know how my partner put up with me!!
And as I said Sydney is nothing, Luke and I were talking and we are hoping if we can manage to get away next year that hopefully we can be in Adelaide and I can attend one of your bookclub meetings!
I have to thank you again for signing all my books and I am hoping Destiny will arrive by then end of the week and then I will have a full set!
Can't wait to read Emissary, I will get back to you in the New Year with my comments on it.
Bye and thanks Ailsa
