Dual ARC giveaway.

In addition to the much-vaunted (and very pretty) Ashes of Honor ARCs, I currently have ARCs for two, yes two different Subterranean Press books. One, A Fantasy Medley 2, contains the first-ever Tybalt-centric novella, "Rat-Catcher," which explains how he first came to be a King of Cats, the origins of his name, and why, when pressed, he sometimes introduces himself to humans as "Rand Stratford." The other, When Will You Rise?, is a collection of two Mira Grant short pieces that have not previously been published in physical form. Both will be coming out this fall, as gorgeous, limited edition volumes.

Understandably, these are even more limited than normal ARCs. But they're worth the read (and the finished books...hoo, nelly). So what's a girl to do?

Give some stuff away, naturally. Specifically, one copy of each Subterranean Press ARC.

This particular giveaway is open to US residents or to non-US residents who feel like paying postage. I'm very sorry about the restriction, there, but I'm in the middle of convention season, and I don't have the spare dollars right now. To enter...

1. Comment with which book you'd like to win, and why.
2. Give your best plea to the Random Number Generator.
3. If you're a non-US resident, indicate both this and your willingness to pay postage.

I will use the RNG to choose three potential winners for each book, and then choose the plea I like best. Yes, that makes it a little arbitrary, but only a little. Winners will be selected on Wednesday, August 8th, at noon PST. The usual twenty-four hour window will then apply.

Game on!

ETA: Guys, don't tell me why you want to win/why you should win; tell the RNG why you, above all others, are the predestined owner of the book. I want you to bribe the random number generator like a corrupt politician. Have fun! Don't just tell me "because I want it." If you didn't, you wouldn't be here!

US Resident, hoping to win Fantasy Medley 2 for a dear love of the Daye universe and Tybalt

As for a bribe a plea

TTTO: Mercedes Benz, by Janis Joplin

I'd like to do a song of great personal and selfish import. It goes like this -

Oh Lord, won't you send me some Tybalt and friends
My friends wield machetes, I must make amends
Read books all my lifetime, not swayed by mere trends
Oh Lord. won't you send me some Tybalt and friends

Oh Lord, won't you give me a night with that book
My cat's name is Ramesses, and he wants a look
He told me to get it, by hook or by crook
Oh Lord, won't you give me a night with that book

Oh Lord, won't you send me that new ARC
Whisper my name to the great RNG
And tell him he gets it - right after me
Oh Lord, won't you send me that new ARC
