This is now the new standard for blurbers; y'all gotta step up

It's a real treat when an author you enjoy reads and blurbs your book; it's even cooler when they buy a copy for a friend. Thanks, @MartinSeay!

@emilyjanehubb @KathleenMRooney I read some speculation somewhere that raccoons are on the path to domestication & I thought robins are WAY farther along. Regularly-watered lawns & landscaping are like their perfect habitat. They know we don't eat them. Let's do this!

Sorry all, we had a bunch of bot voting there at the very end that mucked up the Qualtrics results. After we filtered those out, we can say with confidence that the actual FINAL SCORE for the CHAMPIONSHIP is AMERIE 631, LCD 587.
