nerdyI will do open-to-international giveaways before the book is released, and I'm hoping to clear out more of the pending packages in the next week or so.
So, the rules for this one:
1. Leave a comment.
2. Indicate that you have a US address I can ship to. (You don't have to live in the US. You just have to have a US address.)
3. Name your favorite cryptid and why.
I will use the RNG to choose three winners on Tuesday, January 26th. But there's a twist! Only one person can win for each cryptid. So be honest! Name your favorite! Just be aware that the odds are lower for the Aeslin mice than for, say, the swamp bromeliads.
The field guide is here, if you need some help.
Game on!

In the interest of upping my chances, I want to say that my favourite cryptid is something like the swamp bromeliad (which I do think is actually super cool)...
But in the interest of honesty, I have to say that the mice are, and always will be, my absolute favourites. There is nothing in fiction which delights me as much as the mice. This is because they are endlessly amusing, and comic relief is always nice, but also because everything they do is incredibly heartfelt and sincere. Their devotion to their gods and priestesses is really touching, and while I frequently laugh out loud at their amusing bits, their serious moments are the ones that tug on my heartstrings the most. (In The Star of New Mexico it was the mice that brought me to tears more than anything else.)
So yeah... that was longer than I meant it to be. But yeah, the mice are amazing.
