3 reasons to buy my books.

Ah, Saturday. A day for sweet relaxation. A day when the working author can at least pretend to get caught up on all her word counts. And, well. A day that marks Late Eclipses [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy] being exactly three days from release. (Yes, I know, some stores have it out early. This doesn't make me a happy bunny, so please stop telling me about it. OCD means never coping well when people change your math.)

Some people have asked me why, exactly, they should spend their hard-earned dollars on my books, rather than on all the other lovely things they could be spending their dollars on. So I am here to present you with three excellent reasons why you should buy my books. Take two. They're small.

Reason #1:



Reason #2:



Reason #3:



Buy my books so I can continue to feed the furry monsters that sleep with their many, many sharp kitten-teeth only inches from my tender flesh. (That's Lilly, Alice, and Thomas, in order. It's actually an older picture of Alice, but she was so damn cute that I couldn't resist.)

Three days!

Just so you know, reading about your amazing cats has convinced me that I will someday* go to a breeder and take home at least one, maybe a pair, of Maine Coon kittens of my very own. They're lovely.

*There's an unfortunate fish-only rule at my school, and I already have two lovely cats at home. I graduate in two years. How long will it take me to bring home pets? Probably not long...

Also, I will look into buying your book after this week is over. No way can I buy a book right now, when I have midterms and papers this week. But your cats are definitely convincing reasons to buy. ;)

Maine Coons are amazing. They're high-maintenance compared to shorthairs, and you have to brush them often so they stay used to it, but wow are they worth the effort.
