Fiji: A Novel currently sits at #91 (yay!) – and here’s the Top 5 on that same list as at 11 October 2012 PST:

1. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker’s Guide, #1)
   by Douglas Adams
2. Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
   by Terry Pratchett
3. Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal
   by Christopher Moore
4. Me Talk Pretty One Day
   by David Sedaris
5. The Princess Bride
   by William Goldman

And let’s not forget #91…

While we didn’t set out to be humorous when writing this novel, we found the period (early 1800’s) and the setting (Fiji/South Pacific) and the genre (historical romance/action-adventure) certainly allow for humor. They were bawdy, lusty days and we wanted to capture that in our writing.

As at today, I note our novel remains at #1 in Goodreads’ list for ‘Great Romance Novels’. One reviewer called it “a bodice-ripper”, but I think she exagerates… “A Fifty Shades of Grey” it ain’t!
