[img_assist|nid=2369|title=The Grey Lady gets nailed|desc=|link=none|url=undefined|align=right|width=406|height=269]You did it, Junkies! You put this scrawny walking cadaver on the New York Times Muthafucking Hardcover Fiction Bestseller list!
That's right, in the first week of release, CONTAGIOUS hit #33. The hardcover fiction list is like the Super Bowl of bestseller lists, it's the big-time, and even #33 is a pretty damn big accomplishment.
From this moment on, and for the rest of my life, I get to say "New York Times Bestselling Author Scott Sigler." Granted, I'm used to hearing "will the defendant please rise" and this is way, way better.
This is all you guys. Thanks for your constant support, and thanks for rallying around a strong opening weekend for CONTAGIOUS. Next novel out, our goal will be to crack the top 15, but for now, nailing the Grey Lady feels just fiiiiiiine.

The Sigler Assention of the NYT
The Sigler Assention has begun on the Ney York Time Best Seller List. Now we shall watch as the 32 before our FDO become prey to the infection of Siglerism and fall to their knees infront of him or just get ran over by the tanksof General Siglerisamo. Either way i know our FDO is on his way to the top!!

Congrats
That is great news, you best seller you. When I see you in Minneapolis I will let you buy me a drink to celebrate. DougNo way!
That suggests there are other non-NYTBS FDOs running around somewhere. NYT or not, there's only one FDO!- "I'm risking my life, for people I don't like, for reasons I don't quite understand." - Homer

Weeeeeeeeell...
I did say "the" and not "a", so I don't think that is implied at all. In any case, If the man with the plaid tanks aimed at my family wants me to call him "the best gol' durned pig-greaser this side of the Allegheny" then I damn well better do it.

Good job!

Love it man! Hope all is well with the Mrs.Tour Stop

Awesome!
Awesome stuff Scott! I'd like to think I had something to do with it, but being in australia I doubt my purchased effected the NYT best seller standing... I hope to see you down here soon!Yeah, good point.
BTW, when the plaid tanks come a-rollin' through my town, I just hope to have the privilege of actually seeing one before I'm crushed like a bug. So cool...!- "I'm risking my life, for people I hate, for reasons I don't quite understand." - Homer

Make the effort!!
I made a trip over to the states, from Australia just so I could buy Scotts books here and affect the NYT ratings!

(fingers crossed, hopes noone detects the little white lie)

YAH BABY!!
The book FUCKING RULED!! I literally ate it up!! I'm going to read it AGAIN! I've now indoctrinated my husband into your army. We will die for you FDO! Hope you've got book threein the works...though I'm looking forward to Earthcore 2: mt.Fitzroy. Keep it up, you rock, I don't know if any but two other authors come close to your talent(Jeremy James is one of those few!) Love ya Scott!Earthcore/Ancestor sequels FYI
Scott mentioned in Phoenix that he's not in a hurry to write the sequels to either of these books. Reason being, Crown has a five year option on re-printing the originals. If they do, stuff will get re-written. He doesn't want to have to re-write double the amount of material. I figure there's going to be all sorts of tid bits like this coming out throughout the tour, so here's one of them ;)
Thank you, George Hrab, for composing and performing the acoustic version of brainsbodyboth. Humorous yet poignant, and you gave me a theme song. I miss Ally <sigh>

Are you sure?
On Contagious #6 he said all the sequels will be out in four months! (Or was it two?) And he never lies. Or exaggerates.- It's a cold world. This is life.

Scott's the man. You deserve
Scott's the man. You deserve it, dude. I think the title is already overdue. They should have handed it to you a long time ago. All hail Siglerism!
