Hope you brought your water wings. There's an undertow.

Yes, it's time for the moment you've all been waiting for: the moment where I give away the first ARC of One Salt Sea, the fifth book in the October Daye series. Today seems like a good day to open the contest, being as it's the summer solstice and all. Longest day of the year means free stuff for somebody! So...

Who wants to win an ARC? About what I figured. I'll have some more effort-intensive contests in a little bit, but first up, it's our old favorite, the random drawing. To enter, please do the following:

1) Leave a comment on this entry. Leave it as a comment on the entry, please, not on someone else's comment. Comments left on other comments cannot win.

2) That's all.

Please don't comment going "pick me, pick me," if you could be so kind. I don't pick anyone. The random number generator picks the winner, and it is a cruel mistress which has never yet picked a comment containing "pick me." Instead, why not tell me why you're excited about this book? I'd really love to know.

I will choose a winner at 2PM PST on Friday, June 24th.

Game on!

ETA: Y'all, please remember that I won't answer questions posed on a random number giveaway post. It messes up my ability to cleanly locate a winner, and that just makes things frustrating for everyone.

Quite excited to see any book by you as I've liked everything you've written to date. Also will be very interesting to see how you deal with mermaids in general as I have yet to read a book that's dealt with them in a compelling manner. Other then that my only concern for this book is how you deal with Toby's power up in the previous novel as her being stronger could really break the very nice dynamic you had in the previous novels...Still will be interesting to see.

I'm also waiting for the inevitable reconnection with her daughter once she gets in trouble in some way or if she seeks her out and that will be an interesting bit to see especially with her 'twin' hanging around at the same time.

Anyway do hope I've got a chance as this is my favorite reoccurring series currently being published and I've yet to win anything nice frankly ever, and I've also been a good little salesman for your books giving away six copies for Christmas just this last year making them buy more books by you :). Also I have a cat for my twitter picture this has to earn props with you right?
