Nix is the biggest selling author in the book, both in the US and the UK, and by some order of magnitude, so he was always going to make the cover.

Question: does Nix write adult fantasy as well, or do his books have a big cross-over appeal? My perception over here is that he's read as a YA writer -- in which case, isn't he selling to people who aren't very likely to be picking up Eclipse?

He's published as YA but he crosses over HUGELY. A vast number of his fans are adults. As Jonathan says Garth outsells everyone on that list by a big big margin. I'm pretty sure he's the only regular NYT bestseller in the book.

His books are kids books as far as I know, but he do has some adult stories, in a collection, and in JBU.
