Valentine's ARC giveaway!

To celebrate Valentine's Day (and the excuse that it provides—I might as well be celebrating Champion Crab Races Day on the 18th), I've decided to do something truly awesome: a three stage ARC giveaway. Yes! Three ARCs of A Local Habitation will be awarded to three lucky entries over the course of the next week!

Here's how it works:

1. Comment on this entry telling me who your favorite character in Toby's world is, and why. Be as detailed as you want. (Yes, technically, this does make the contest open only to those who've read Rosemary and Rue. As this is a sequel, I don't feel bad about that.)
2. ...that's all, actually. Your part in things is now done.

I will select winners via random number draw tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. All winners will be selected at noon PST. All winners must contact me via my website "contact" link before eight PM PST on Sunday, or another winner will be selected, and I will shake my head in sorrow.

Game on!

My favorite character is Tybalt. I love the tension between him and Toby, Tybalt's sarcasm, the arrogance with which he just appears at whim, and the control he takes in any situation. He's just what I would expect a King of Cats to be: selfish, self-centered, contemptuous of his lessers, intrigued by anything interesting (whether to eat or play with), and wary of threats to his personal happiness.

I think that's why he holds Toby at claw's-length--he suspects that, if he let her, she'd undo his peace of mind so thoroughly he'd never get it back. If she hasn't done so already!
