Now you know I'm home: it's GIVEAWAY TIME!: seanan

Now you know I'm home: it's GIVEAWAY TIME!

I am home for more than a week, and that means it's time to unearth my postage supplies, finally mail all those posters I've taken requests for, and most of all, time to GIVE STUFF AWAY. Specifically, it's time to give away a couple of ARCs of Once Broken Faith.

You in?

To ease us back into the normal swing of things, today we're going with a random number generator drawing. US-only unless you are able to pay postage. I'm really sorry about that, but having just purchased a house, I am really not in a position to pay to mail things internationally right now. To enter...

1. Comment on this entry.
2. Specify whether you are US or international and, if international, indicate willingness to pay postage.
3. Name one thing you're hoping to see in an upcoming Toby book.

I will draw three winners via random number generator on Monday, August 8th. Game on!

ETA: Entries which do not include all three components, and which do not specifically relate to the October Daye series, are ineligible to win.

ETA2: Now closed, will be announcing our winners shortly.

Since I'm a newbie here (just finished 1st book) I don't know what you have and haven't covered in the series so I'm going with the best bet and and say I'm hoping for more Fae action and more expansion of this great world you've created!
Thank you!

Oh, U.S. resident here

Can't wait for yet more Toby! I'm rereading them all now in preparation!

I would love to see the Luidaeg get some form of happily ever after...whatever that would even look like for her.

3. Name one thing you're hoping to see in an upcoming Toby book.
Well, a crossover with one of InCryptid's chupacabra would blow my brain, but I don't actually expect that... so how about Toby getting a nice quiet afternoon to read in the park with nothing bad happening? (Just one day, I mean, really, she'd get bored and/or paranoid if things went quiet for very long).

Yes!

I am super excited to see Toby happy. I love her and Tybalt and can't wait to see their relationship develop.

3. I love the October Daye series so much, I just want more of everything! :) Picking one thing: Tybalt and Toby's bachelor/bachelorette parties and wedding. (I especially adore Tybalt!)

I'm in the US and I'm hoping for some kind of reconciliation between Toby and Sylvester someday.

The Wedding! Duh.

Hey look, I commented!

I am most definitely in the US, although on the wrong coast when it comes to seeing all the cool places Toby hangs out.

I can't wait for the wedding. Given Tybalt's propensity to get flowery when he's nervous or feeling self important, I fully expect sonnets to replace his vows, with the obligatory Toby facepalm reaction.

Also, if we could have more of May, that'd be great. More May is never a bad thing. She was especially nice in Full of Briars.

Good to see you settling in (I follow you on Twitter, so I've seen some of the ups and downs of the new house/moving/etc).

I'm in the U.S.

Honestly I have no idea. Every time I've had an idea about what would happen to Toby next, either something totally different has happened or you've taken my expectations and given them a twist that improved the idea 1000%. So: I am hoping to see whatever you write next.

Love the characters, love...OK, actually, hate most of the events except it's great to be able to watch them (adventures are bad things happening to other people, or long ago, or far away). Huh, a thought - now that you're not in the Bay Area, will Toby go elsewhere (for visits, maybe)?

I'm in the US.

Either that's a tough question or I need to reread the series... I think what I'm more curious about is overarching plot questions or resolutions. So, I'm curious about how Toby is growing into her fae heritage and if her fae heritage is going to keep getting stronger or if it stops at some balance point. I would like to know what's going to happen with the selkies. I'd like to meet Amandine at some point. Since there are so many old fae popping up around Toby already, do Oberon, Titania, and Maeve ever come back into the grand picture or are they gone for good?

This is a comment!
I am in the US, but am still willing to pay postage (I know the pain of moving costs...eesh).
I really want to see - in a concerned way - what is going to happen to Luna: it just keeps getting more stressful and I worry about the Torquill family as a whole :-(

US; I'm really interested in August and Amandine and if there's August and October, is there a September?

Awesome!

I am hoping to see more of Marcia. She is someone who has me very interested/stumped/speculating.

1. This is me commenting
2. I'm international and I'm happy to pay for all the shipping, although I have people in the states you can ship to if it's easier.
3. There's so much I want to see... More Spike (I love Spike). But, primarily a wedding. Either Toby & Tybalt or Mae & Jazz...

1. Comment follows herewith.
2. USAnian, but willing to pay postage anyway.
3. Toby and Tybalt on another date. I'm sure mayhem would ensue, but they're such fun to watch anyway.

1. Comment! :)
2. U.S.
3. Thing I'm hoping to see in a future Toby book:

Toby finding August. "Hey, so I'm your half-human sister. Here's your other half-sister, the Fetch. Your dad's a dick by the way, he turned me into a fish for over a decade." I'm lauging about the meeting already! (Although I'm sure it'll be super serious, Toby style).

Goodness, there are SO many things I hope to see! But having just finished Full of Briars and having really enjoyed the peek into another character's POV, I'd love to see something about May and Jazz.

I live in the US. :-)
