RELEASE THE KRAKEN!...giving away an ARC.

Who wants to win an ARC of One Salt Sea? Good. I'm going to make it easy on you, because I'm feeling mellow that way. To enter...

1. Comment on this entry. Be sure you're commenting on the entry, not on someone else's comment; only comments left on the actual entry will be eligible.
2. Tell me one thing you think will happen (or hope will happen) in One Salt Sea. You don't have to be serious! Make something up if it amuses you. I love me some silliness.
3. Wait.

I will choose a winner, using our old friend, Random Number Generator, on Monday, August 1st. So yes, this is a very short contest, and you should get in while the getting is good.

Game on!

Toby will almost die seven times, because seven is the magical number, and Tybalt will declare his undying love for her. Then there will be kittens, because I like kittens.

Also holy crap I'm behind on reviewing the Toby books for IQ >.<

Toby will find a convenient phone booth and transform into SUPERTOBY, wearing a cape and sensible shoes to fight crime!

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons death may die."

That's right: Toby versus Cthulhu!

Squee!

Ooo! I <3 ARC giveaways. And this series (which I've bought hard copy so I can push it on all my friends). And the covers are fantastic—you can tell the artist actually knows the story content.

What do I think or hope will happen in One Salt Sea? Hrm…

I suspect more hints about "him" (Oberon, I'm assuming) will appear, but I don't think Toby will get enough concrete info to make the connection. I hope Tybalt and Toby have a nice conversation. I fear that the newly-unwed Connor is going to make an ass of himself… (Okay, Connor seems like an okay guy, but Toby's definition of "okay guy" is effed up, and who knows what he learned from being married to Raysel?)

I also expect that Gilly or Cliff may make an appearance, soon. I wonder if Amandine interfered with Gilly, too?

Poor Tybalt. He really didn't do himself any favors when he fell for Toby.
P.S. Couldn't post with my Twitter account.

You've hinted that Toby will have some sort of issue not getting her coffee in time so I think she'll go through withdrawals that will cause her to start a fight with Conner using magic in public until Tybalt shows up to whisk her away to the nearest coffee shop but they can't find one that hasn't been taken over by Starbucks and she goes comatose.

Toby and Tybalt do a tango.

I predict this will be an almost completely Tybalt-free book, knowing of the traditional attraction of cats and water.

In a more depressing kind of prediction, I don't think we'll be seeing as much of Connor after this book - odds are 50/50 of his death versus his having to take up permanent duties down there.

Oh, and May jokes about skinny dipping, because Toby has no sense of humor, and someone has to.

Danny makes Quentin adopt a Barghast, which he will leave in Toby's apartment at Connor's request as a Tybalt deterrent. Spike is not amused.

Ok, I finally want Toby to pull her head out about Tybalt.

I'd like to see Toby in a compromising position with a merperson. :)

I'm hoping that a plague of penguin pookas will march down Mulberry Street, prompting Toby to say "What the FUCK" and quit her job as a PI to take up transcendental meditation, before applying to a reality show like America's Got Talent.

It's a comment!

I think in One Salt Sea, Toby and Connor will share a "about to kiss" looking moment (but not what it seems) in front of Quentin, Tybalt, and May, who will assume that it is what it looks like.

Also, I think in One Salt Sea, Toby will discover that Rose Goblins are secretly genetically engineered velociraptors.

Like many others, hoping for some Toby and Tybalt action, cause we love us our Tybalt. Seems unlikely, as I assume the sea is probably a Cait Sidhe free zone, but one can hope. Kind of hoping Conner would drown, or at least die gallantly, as he annoys me.

Kind of hopping Conner would drown,

I can get behind this. TeamDownWithConner!

Tybalt sings Memories.

Tybalt would totally sing the Rum Tum Tugger's song! ...though I'm sure he's a very good singer and the idea of him singing Memories has just turned on my hormones. O_o


(Meanwhile, I do wonder about Tybalt manifesting as a catfish.)


(This is not an ARC-seeking comment and I know it. I will buy the book when it comes out and let some other deserving person get the ARC.)

Toby hires on as guide and security for a team of Irwins from After the End Times wanders in from a neighboring reality.

I want to find out more about Toby's past and the politics of the courts. And I want Connor to actually do something, since at the moment I'm very biased towards Tybalt, and it's really not fair of me *g*

Can't wait to read the book, whatever happens!

Lots of smooches between Toby and Tybalt. Or fighting. With them, I think both could and would happen at the same time.

I'd like to see Toby and Tybalt stop dancing around and &@#% already. WHO'S WITH ME?

Me! Tybalt kissing Toby in LE was good but we need more.
