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!

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?
