June 24, 2012 is a very happy day for us, we have two NEW YORK TIMES HARDCOVER BESTSELLERS on this Sunday’s list.

John Scalzi’s REDSHIRTS leads off at #15, congratulations John, this is a wonderful achievement.  MaryJanice Davidson’s UNDEAD AND UNSTABLE, the 11th volume in her magical Queen Betsy series appears at #29 and she can add at that to her long string of Times bestsellers.  Fans will be happy to know she recently contracted for books 12 and 13 in the series, so every June, you have something to look forward to.

Selling first novels is one of our favorite activities so we are delighted to announce the sale of James Cambias’ A DARKLING SEA to Dave Hartwell at Tor Books.
