This is serious fight time. We're seriously fighting.

The second round of this year's BSC Book Tournament has closed, and Toby is still standing, since An Artificial Night managed to crush the competition handily. That's good!

Now I am up against Cat Valente's Habitation of the Blessed. That's not so good. Weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth to follow. But still, I entreat that you should vote, regardless of your choice in this round, and hope only that Toby will prevail. Why? Because it amuses the living crap out of me, naturally, and I am a simple blonde.

I'll add the voting link as soon as it goes live. Vote your heart. Vote your champion. Vote for MAXIMUM CARNAGE.

Girl fight tonight!

ETA: As promised, here is the actual voting link for the contest. Now get your smackdown on!

74% with 133 responses! Go Toby!
SMACKITY.
Hmmm...I'm picturing a whole West Side Story kind of match up between you and Cat. Would you be the Jets or the Sharks?

I think I've been watching too much Glee.
It would be Giant Python vs. Equally Large Boa.
Dutifully done. Go Toby!
Yay!
Noooooo! How do I decide? I love you both!
Not an easy choice, it's tragic but true.

Woo!
Toby appears to be crushing the competition, which is good because she's my only horse left in this race. (Since there were a grand total of two - clearly I haven't been reading that much recently published material.)
More books!
This is a tough round for me, Toby wins her bracket easily, but I get worried when/if Toby goes against Alexia(Gail Carriger) or Sorcha(Phillipa Ballantine).
If Toby goes against Alexia, we will rally the troops, and CRUSH HER BUCKETS.
I don't doubt it, Alexia drinks tea. Nothing can trump the power of Toby on coffee.

Be very amused, for you are crushing Cat by a huge margin. Triumph shall be Toby's!

Toby apparently knows her Shakespeare, so I challenge her with this: how many dogs have appeared in plays by William Shakespeare?

A. Only one
B. 13
C. 37 (one in each play he wrote)
D. None
One, isn't it?

This is... sort of tangentially related (or maybe not)? I was looking at your website/Amazon, debating where to buy Rosemary & Rue, and I was wondering if there's a method you prefer? I know sometimes authors receive more of a percentage from sales on specific websites, or if you can buy from them directly, and wondered if you do.
Thanks!
I don't do direct sales, so any legal source you want to go through is fine by me. :) If you're already planning to do mail order, you might want to consider calling Borderlands Books in San Francisco, since they can get your book signed (I'm in there at least once a week).

Oh man! I'm glad I know you two have enough integrity and smarts that this poll won't hurt the friendship. I voted for you. *nod* (And nojojojo in her bracket, too.)
If this could damage our friendship, we'd both need slapping. :)
