If you don't know who Grimalkin is, he is the sarcastic gray cat in my upcoming novel, The Iron King. (He is also amassing a rather scary amount of fans with every person who reads the book. At the moment, Grim is more popular than the heroine.)
As for what a Grimalkin rock is, take a peek below.
(My camera is stupid, and the photos aren't really good because of glare, but here is the finished Grimalkin rock.)
So, there you have it. I'll run this contest till the end of the month. As for rules, we'll make it simple.

Okay, fine, just 4 total.
Too many ings. This is what I do for Grimalkin. And I'm usually much more lazy about stuff like this. I want this rock, dude!
Does it count if I tweeted once for both of them? If so, +3 for this tweet? ;)

read your book and thought it was a wonderful story. I enjoyed all the emotions megan went through. I would love an autographed book and the rock would be nice. but, know I don't have a chance. I am new to internet conversations. as to say. no tweeting and don't know about poking. I did fall into a trap of creating a blog page trying to post this message. it is darlah-harper47 created on google. which the only use I have for it is to recomend your book. not sure how many points that will get me. but, it should be worth something, since I am a fish out of water. looking forward to future books from you.
