LATE ECLIPSES ARC winner, and other ARC questions.

Point the first: the winner of our random drawing "picture of your pet with one of my books" contest is...the_liz666! Please contact me via my website contact link within the next twenty-four hours to claim your prize. If you don't, I will choose another winner. Also, can I just say, I am SO VERY GLAD this was an explicitly random number-based contest? If I had to choose from the awesome, awesome entries, my head would have exploded. There was Perry the Platypus! And cats! And videos! And fish! AND A FRIKKIN' TIGER! I have the best fans in the whole world.

Point the second: I recently received some old ARCs from my publisher, found during one of the rare but vital "let's clean all the things" sessions. Is anyone out there doing cool art projects with books right now? I have two copies of A Local Habitation and three of An Artificial Night, and I'd love to see them turned into something awesome. Let me know if you have any ideas about where these books could go. (Donating them to a women's shelter doesn't work very well, because they're ARCs; they don't stand up well to repeat reading. Turning them into art, on the other hand, is both awesome and forever. Everybody wins!)

Point the third: I need to do a few more contests, naturally, before finished copies of Late Eclipses start showing up. Does anybody have any cool suggestions? And no, "Just give it to me" doesn't could, and may get you swatted at.

I have images in my mind of portraits/silhouettes or places described in your books created using relevant words. I guess a collage, using text to create shape and texture.

but it isn't something I've done before, and I would feel bad if my attempt failed and I didn't have something to show for the gift of an ARC.

That's the beauty of having more than one of something meant to be disposable! Also, you require no postage, which makes you AWESOME.

Which would you like?

yay! an art project :)

I'd like An Artificial Night - it has some wonderfully dark passages and settings.
