My book is number 1 on Germany’s mass market best-seller list! I’m pinching myself to make sure this is real, but I know it is because my editor there, Eva Schubert, has been tracking the book’s progress ever since it hit Germany’s best seller list, at number 44, in April.

Here is part of the message Eva emailed to me this morning:

“Dear Mary,
This is a very special moment for me: I’m about to
give you the best news an author could possibly receive from her editor:
YOU’RE NUMBER ONE IN GERMANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Move over John Green, Elizabeth George and many, many more ….”

I love this photo of Eva (right) with Nicola Bartels, Publisher, and a “Number 1” blueberry pie.
