There is no mention about Martin's overall sales in the Edelweiss entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea has since expanded to creating cookbooks for other settings including games (World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Elder Scrolls) and science fiction shows and films (Firefly, Star Trek, Star Wars). If you're curious, she has some of the original recipes that started it all here. IlyaP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 (edited) After some debate, I've started assembling the new list. It's slow going and hard work, but should be interesting once done. The big winner on the new list so far is Rick Riordan, who has sold 105 million more books (!) in six years. Sarah J. Maas's sales are also insane. 7 million in 2018, 26 million now and rocketing upwards at a rate of knots. She's a much faster-selling author than Sanderson (whose sales growth appears to have become quite sluggish recently, which seems weird given that Kickstarter).

Quite a few big surprises on this list for me. Pretty sure Lies has sold 1 million, I just can't find the source now. Jim Butcher has probably sold more (and Robin Hobb a lot more) but better figures are simply not available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
