Thank you for all the comments the past three days! Here’s another chance:
Book Giveaway, Day #4!
Lately I’ve been doing a slew of radio interviews to help promote “The Art of Silliness.” They’ve been lots of fun, and it got me to thinking that it’s time to give away some copies of the book!
“The Art of Silliness” is a workbook-style book that you can draw right into…click here if you’d like to preview some inside pages.
I’m giving away five books this week! International entries welcome. Just leave a comment for a chance to win a copy (and come back each day this week for four more chances!). I’ll pick today’s random winner at noon PST Friday (4/19).
And please, tell your friends!
To win a copy, leave a comment now!
(And thanks to Perigee Books for providing the giveaway copies!)

Ktima Heathcote said:
This is the kind of silly verse I think the girl on antlers would make up:
There once was a girl called Silly
Who much preferred Milly or Billy
But she kept with the name
as it proved a great game
when people called her Silly Billy
Living in the outback of Australia can be extreme at times so silliness is important
