SOCK ELEPHANT CONTEST WILL END MONDAY MARCH 24 AT 5 P.M. CDT

My author copies of The Goblin Emperor have arrived. (Please add exclamation points to taste. I don't think LiveJournal's character limits will let me put enough in.)

That means that the contest to name my sock elephant is coming to a close. I'm going to let it run through the weekend, so that if somebody has been dithering about putting in a suggestion, they don't get the rug yanked out from under them. (Also, so that there's a fighting chance no one will only HEAR about the contest when it ends.)

Please spread the word widely! All suggestions are welcome, and remember you can make more than one entry!

I'd like to recuse myself from winning. I refuse to withdraw the name-suggestions, mind you, because they're still good, but I can't accept the book if I win, having already won an author copy!

I have just read the first four chapters and I can't wait to read the rest. Or, I can, because I have to, of course, but I don't want to. At all. Wait, I mean.

I love the Labyrinth books and reread them often. You are one of the best worldbuilders I have come across, and I have been reading fantasy (and sf) for fifty years. Also your characters are interesting and complex - they feel like real people.

LOVE the first 4 chapters!

Who was that guy complaining about how there isn't a link on the page to buy the book. Irked me right out. *rolls eyes* He has no google fu.
