Home

I am home. It is hot here. My house is liberally covered in cat vomit. Do not want.

BUT!!!

I came home to a package of ARCs on my doorstep, and a garage full of BAAAAABY KITTENS! Miss Mehitabel Adeline Elbereth has delivered three tiny squirmy adorable kittens, in exactly the spot I didn't want her to. Mother and baaaaabies seem to be doing just fine. (Doubtless the first night we didn't come home she said "oh thank god the monkeys are gone" and proceeded to pop.)

First a shower, then kitty pictures. And in the meantime, someone decide what sort of contest or drawing I should have to give away some of these ARCs. And maybe a couple of kittens.

Kittens and ARCs!

Ask and ye shall receive! Kittens! With ARCs!

The one with the white face and feet is definitely the boss so far, and very loud.

Of those eight ARCs so attractively displayed, I'll be giving away five to people from the internets who want them. But how to choose which five people? Song lyrics contests? Names in a hat? Whoever finishes my novel for me? (That would definitely be worth an ARC and a kitten.)

Shameless self-promotion

I still haven't figured out the ARC dilemma, but I have put the first chapter of TDC on my website here.
