#7!

turkish-blackberry-winter

Today I received an email from my foreign rights agent to share that Blackberry Winter, my third novel, continues to climb the bestseller list charts in Turkey. After six straight weeks on the list, it is now the #7 top-selling book in the country of Turkey, sharing list space with John Green, Khaled Hosseini and others. I am completely wowed and honored. I’m planning to visit Istanbul later this year for a special signing and appearance, and I cannot wait to thank my Turkish readers when I get there (and maybe have a few glasses of champagne too!).

    Hello Sarah.I’m from Antalya,Turkey.I just finished your book.Really, this book is fascinating.Sometimes I were shocked sometimes I were a emotional person.But I have one criticism about Blackberry Winter.It has so much coincidence.Because of that sometimes I said ‘get out of here’. But generally I want to say that Thank you for Blackberry Winter,it is a really good novel 🙂
