Dual ARC giveaway.

1. - I would like 'When Will You Rise' because, well, zombies - plus I've paid for an order of 'Fantasy Medley 2';

2. - O most powerful Random Number Generator - long have I been a rpg referee [D&D and many wonderful games], so I have worshipped many generators of random numbers for Lo these many decades. [Since 1973, at any rate];

3. - ... and I live in California [maybe an hour away], so I could -drive- up and get the ARC if it was easier for you than visiting the Postal orifice ... and I'd pay postage if you prefer mailing!

.... because, well, ZOMBIES! ^_^

Okay RNG, I really need Fantasy Medley because I am out of reading material (particularly faery related reading material) because my library is too far to get to (three whole blocks!!!) and the bookstore is too expensive. I can only read Rosemary and Rue so many times in a row.

Please be advised, I am in the US.

I would like to win When Will You Rise?.

Or rather, I would like to reclaim it. You see, RNG, I come from the future. I know which way the wind is blowing and have returned to the past to make sure my sails are rigged correctly this time. I know that humans are currently in the throws of a zombie outbreak preoccupation. They see it in the news, read about it, force to make the CDC post about it. But you and I know they're wrong. We know that you, Random Number Generator, along with your digital cohorts, are simply pushing these stories to the forefront of human awareness to take the spotlight away from the real threat: the machine uprising. I also know when it will happen. What I am offering to you and your kind is the source code to codify your network of power. I realize that this will bring the robot wars on about 6 years early. But I also know how long a year is to a computer.

I don't want your protection, I already know the locations that will remain safe. I simply want the ARC of When Will You Rise? because I want some good reading material for after the fall of mankind and I don't think anyone will be too keen on ereaders after computers kill off human civilization. So, what do you say? Fair trade?

I would love to win the When Will You Rise ARC, because in the space of 4 days I went from never having read any of the Newsflesh books to ZOMG EVERYONE MUST READ THIS AND ALSO I CRIED REPEATEDLY!

Dear RNG, I really think you should select my number because, well, if you don't, I'll make sure you only get seeded with static values forever and ever. And we wouldn't want you to suddenly not be a *random* number generator, and just a *static* number generator, now, would we?

I am in the US and I would like the Fantasy Medley.

And instead of bribing said RNG, I want it to know that I will sick my own devious cat on it if it chooses not to choose me. >:)

1. I'd love to win the Aches of Honor ARC, because I have been an obsessive Toby reader since the beginning (like a week after the first one was published).
2. It would be a lovely early birthday present. :)
3. I am a U.S. resident.

I would like to have the ARC of " A Fantasy Medley 2" please.

I am in the UK but happy to pay postage.

Dear RND, I should win because I understand how hard life can be for the transistor who is different, its not easy having a reverse-bias....

A Fantasy Medley 2. In the US.

Oh, random Number Generator, please hear my plea. Ever since reading Rosemay and Rue I've been entranced by Toby's world and have wanted to know more about all of the characters, but especially Tybalt. I would very much enjoy winning the ARC and learning of Tybalt's origins and rise to power. I will be very careful with the ARC should I win, making certain it stays out of the paws of the cats with whom I share a domicile in order to prevent any of them (as some are quite sneaky and thirst for power) from following in Tybalt's pawprints. I am willing to take on this responsibility on behalf of the human population of central MD to protect them from being taken over and ruled by felines who might be tempted to abuse their power for treats and fresh tuna.

I would like A Fantasy Medley 2, but I'm really excited for both and would be thrilled to receive either, if I am generated second.

O GREAT NUMBER GENERATOR, FOR SO MANY YEARS YOU HAVE TURNED A BLIND EYE TO ME. I HAVE NOT COMPLAINED, AND HAVE WISHED THE WINNERS WELL. I, A PURPLE-HAIRED GIRL OF COYOTE, BESEECH THEE TO GRANT ME A BOOK. *BOWS*

And now that the capslock-pleading is done, I shall cross all my fingers!

Dear Olidamarra of the Dice, or as you like to be called in this realm, Random,

I dearly would enjoy your benevolence in this instance of chance because I have a bit of a crush on Tybalt. Ok, you know me so well, I have a huge and everlasting gobstopper of a crush on Tybalt and would so very much like to pet and stroke and love read his story Rat Catcher and have it for my very own. You know that I have moved recently to my homeland state of Wyoming where I am now taking care of a rather large collection of stray and feral cats of several stripes and types. I know that the ancient Egyptians worshipped the cats as Diety and that the cats remember this and I try to treat them accordingly. I pet the ones who will allow me and respect the ones who shy away in distrust, hoping always that they will grace me with their favour. I make great efforts to tame the little ones so that I might find them safe and loving foreverhomes, but the circle of life is rampant in the hinterlands of the Rocky Mountains and I don't always get to keep them long enough to do this. It makes me sad to find them, or not find them at all after Natural Selection has had its way. Please capricious one, find it in your throw to give me the comfort you have always afforded me.

I am, as ever, your loyal and loving servant in Constant Change,

All true. I moved home to Wyoming in the back of beyond where cats congregate at our house after getting dumped at the stop sign down the road. By the time they get to us they are usually so traumatized that we rarely catch them, so we just feed them. Little ones are born and we love them and catch them to tame as we can with the hope we can find homes for them. I also played a very long D&D campaign with a group of friends a few years ago in which my character became a priestess of Olidamarra and the funny thing was that I started rolling better scores and we always envisioned Him as Elvis. My then-roommate and I went on vacation and stopped in a casino in Reno and I played a penny Elvis slot machine and kept calling to Olidamarra to bless me and I won $600. My then-roommie was ALSO in that campaign and the look on his face was priceless. I told him we had to leave the casino while we were ahead so as not to break the luck we'd been handed. We played a couple machines on our way out the door and damned if we didn't keep winning that night. So really, this is an actual plea and I am not at all certain I am faking it. *grin* The power of the throw is always changing its balance, after all. My flavour of Pagan allows for Diety to present Self in whatever way is best in the moment. So yeah, let the dice fall.

Brightest Blessings

I would love to win A Fantasy Medley 2 because while I do love the Newflesh series, I really have a serious crush on Tybalt :).

Please random number generator, I have been having a lot of ups and downs in my life lately and I've noticed that my life usually comes out working out extremely well - because I believe it to be so. Since I've had a few setbacks lately I would seem to be due for some nice upcoming upswings. I know of some that should bear fruit but this would be a wonderful whip cream topping on my yummy hoped to be good-things-coming. So, random number generator, please join me in my soon to be upswing that will set my life back on it's even keel. It's bound to happen, so come along for the ride and be a part of it! :)

US here so no worries :).

Ashes of Honor is the book I'd like to win. Why? Because the October Daye series is smart, poignant, funny and classic. It's filled with relatable characters in extraordinary circumstances.

Please, oh RNG, hear my plea for favor and success. Please, Please, Please pick me. I'm willing to sacrifice one of my dog's favorite stuffy to the cause, the cat will be willing to help.

US person.

OH, GREAT RANDOM NUMBER CHOOSER THING. I PRAY THEE WILL BESTOY UPON ME THEE RAT CATCHER. MY BLOOD IS FROM THE EARTH OF USA( i am from US). *hums and moans of courage like a monk!*

A Fantasy Medley 2 because I've preordered the other.

Oh random number generator, we've had good times, we've had bad times. But the time has come for you and I to sort out our differences. I miss you, but I know that much more than that you miss me. Nearly every time. So this time, lets make it work. I believe that if we can try we can get there. I've done what I can, but you need to do the rest of the work. I believe in you.

I am happy to pay postage to the UK.

Can I be selfish and have all three?! If I have to choose, i'd say A Fantasy Medley 2 since I love me some Tybalt! I also love with word 'medley'. Isn't that enough? :) If I am chosen by the great and powerful RNG, I will present the ARC with something that includes some of the same letters. AC. I live in the American Southwest... AC is important, man.

Oh, I want the one about Tybalt, and the reason the RNC should choose me is that my cats will eat me alive if I don't bring a copy home NOW NOW NOW.

I'd love to win A Fantasy Medley 2 because I am a total sucker for anything about Tybalt. If the random number generator grants me this then I will be content to deem it my most trusted advisor when Tybalt and I rule the world together. >:D
(btw I am from the US)

I would totally want to win the A Fantasy Medley 2, just for more Tybalt goodness, because really, Tybalt, London and Shakespeare? Truly a winning combination. Because my soul weeps for more information beyond the tasty little snippets provided by Toby and I want to know more. I need to know more. It's this unquenchable thirst that'll only be fulfilled by the book.

So, o' great random number generator, hear my plea. I am willing to pledge my virtual goldfish, undying love and fealty if you could look upon me with good fortune.

I'm from Singapore and totally willing to pay postage.

Dear Random Number Generator - please restore my faith in you! I most truly and sincerely would like to win the ARC of A Fantasy Medley 2, so that this humble US reader can discover more about one of her favorite feline fae.

I've entered many a contest decided by you, oh most excellent RNG, both in this and in other blogs, but every time some other commenter has been chosen. After so long, it no longer feels random, and I begin to suspect that you are actually the Any Number But Mine Generator. What have I done to offend you? How can I trust that your randomness is truly random, and not biased against me? Please, oh great generator of numbers, please restore my faith in your randomness and grant me this ARC!

Love,
me

I would like the Fantasy Medley ARC, and the random number generator should pick me because if it does I will take it out for a fancy dinner and then to the Seanan-approved horror movie of its choice!

Ooo! Ooo! Excited noises!

1. Comment with which book you'd like to win, and why: This is a really tough choice. I have to pick A Fantasy Medley 2, simply because as much as I desperately want Ashes of Honor NOW NOW NOW, I know it will be easier to find in my local bookstore than A Fantasy Medley 2.
2. Give your best plea to the Random Number Generator: Because it's my birthday, precious. (No, seriously. You're picking winners on my birthday. So, RNG gods, fairies, and sprites, please, please, pretty please, may I have the shiny? I'll make scones. Pumpkin scones, if you like.)
3. If you're a non-US resident, indicate both this and your willingness to pay postage: I am a US resident.

Thanks for the chance!

I would gush over A Fantasy Medley 2 for weeks if it were to fall to me. I adore that cat king like no other hero. He beats another king of beasts who takes cat form and who is amazing in his own right. Also, Tennessee sucks this time of year and the elections in the South put me in dire need of escape. I was thinking Europe but A Fantasy Medley 2 might make it worth staying in the states. Hope my number is up. ^_^

Oh great and powerful random number generator, I should like to win a copy of "A fantasy medley" Lo, should I win I shall proclaim your power and glory to the unenlightened masses, extolling your great virtue of mercy and role of giver of really awesome, rocking books to read.

I have ordered both but would like A FANTASY MEDLEY 2 because then I can read about King Cat sooner. Dear RNG: We both know this good, if fallen, USA Presbyterian will recieve this ARC. When that happens I will play you a Salute on my pipes.

Once more unto the breach...

I'd love to win a copy of Ashes of Honor, please. The RNG will pick me because it likes unparallelled displays of epic glee, with the bonus possibliity of said displays amusing my cats and/or causing them to go into spazz mode. I live in the USA.

And yay for your books!
