N.D. Wilson has a new book. While I’m quite sure you all know that all ready, perhaps you haven’t heard of the fabulous promos he’s been running. First off is a giveaway for all you Facebookers out there. Just “like” the official Ashtown Burials page here and then vote on which book trailer score is your favorite. You can vote here. Up for grabs are two audio copies of The Dragon’s Tooth and a signed set of the 100s Cupboards books. Christmas shopping at its easiest.

Second freebie is for those of you who have the book already. Simply snap a pic, tweet it with the hashtag #dragonstooth, or post it on the Ashtown Burials page on the Facebook, and you’ll receive a cool-as-can-be boxing monkey patch, the ultimate stocking stuffer and fashion accessory.

The Facebook promo ends Monday so go cast a vote!

before you believe…billboards.

Nate and I drove by this today. No idea who did it but that billboard’s been asking for something for a while.

It’s been too long, eh? Here’s a long overdue post with a bunch of non-related tidbits for your perusal.

While I didn’t make an appearance, I did zip through the blog party links. Hip, hip, yahoo for all you readers. Thanks for playing. Quite the variety of gals we have out there.

So here are a few more pics of our latest addition, Marisol Helen Wilson, aka The little gal who has been keeping her mother up at night. Fun times. Busy times. Gotta love it. Her daddy wrote her a lovely poem which can be found here. It made me happy.

Hello one and all! Unapologetic plug of husband’s book ahead. I hope everyone has preordered a copy of The Chestnut King at Canon (bookplate=great stocking stuffer) as well as entered for your chance at free, signed copy over at N.D. Wilson’s blog (contest ends soon). The newest of the news is that there is now a book trailer. Go take a look!

If any of you are in or around Los Angeles, the L.A. Times Festival of Books is the happening place to be this weekend. To be more precise,find your way to the Target Children’s stage on Saturday at 4:40 pm to hear Mr. N.D. Wilson say all sorts of fabulous, insightful, funny, (did I mention funny?) things about books and writing. He’ll be signing books after his talk.
