Dandelion Fire Giveaway

Dandelion Fire (Book 2 of the 100 Cupboards) officially releases on February 24. That’s when the general public will find the book in stores. In the five months twixt now and then, one or two or maybe three (who knows, four ?) people will discover their latent specialness. My fab publicist (thank you, Meg O’Brien) is sending me Advance Readers Copies to give away here.

Dandelion Fire is fatter than 100 Cupboards (which means I should say, “I’m sorry,” or “You’re welcome,” depending on the reader). It’s bigger in scale and scope, has a shiny cover, I like it, and I’m going to give away the first one now.

If you want it, all you have to do is leave a comment here (one comment only, please), and surrender your fate to a web-based random number generator. The winner will not be chosen by merit, but by destiny.  Next week, I’ll give someone their due.

Here’s your first. :)

Seeking destiny…

Here is my comment which, should destiny and fate be kind to me, shall endow me with an advance copy of the long awaited, Dandelion Fire.

I’ll be of the “you’re welcome” variety of reader. So thank you.

love it.

Please let it be me. My children have been tearing holes in the walls in anticipation.

Can’t wait for this installment!

Like Beowulf before he faces the dragon, I say that fate must measure between myself and the “odds” by the wall of my shield, but unlike Beowulf, my fate is a lower-case affair and God is an upper case affair. I will boast no further against the odds, nor against the wyrd.

Sister in law would love it! Selah would too. We were actually talking about your next book just before she went to bed tonight. Funny, to come across your new blog. Love you!

I like dandelions!

joe and jen carlson

yes please. and thank you.

Pick me! Pick me! :)

One shot for me, thanks.

Pick me instead!

try this one this time. Last attempt got lost in cybergoo somewhere…..

I’d love for you to pick me, but we both know that’s not likely to happen. But I figure now is as good a time as any to list off the things I think it would be fun for you to talk about.

1. Why do Christians often do so poorly in the arts and what do you believe they can they do to change that pattern?

2. What practical criteria should Christians use in evaluating contemporary art?

3. Are there any current examples of strong Christian art? Who are they? Why are they strong?

Thanks!

Lovely! We’re not children, but we just tore one of our old room’s walls down. No cupboards, so we put new walls back up.

I have a love-hate relationship with dandelions. I love how the name rolls off your tongue… Dandy Lion. I hate digging them out of my garden. I would love to receive a copy of Dandelion Fire! I hate to think about missing out and waiting until next year!

i’ll leave it to destiny, but it’ll be an even longer wait for chestnut king.

Count me in. All 10 digits on the hands, the wiggly ones on the feet and a handful of limbs, a torso, and other assorted parts.

C’mon random number generator!!! Woohoo ;)

My Random Entry

My wife and I loved 100 Cupboards and look forward to the next installment. Would love an advance copy!

O Great Random Number Generator,

I beseech thee to shower thy mercy and grace upon me.

—-

Thank you for this opportunity, Nathan.

the longer, the better.

Oh, boy…I can’t wait! Please count me in. (I love big fat books…)

HML

We listened to the last one and enjoyed it a lot. (Why does the Lynchburg Public Library have a CD of 100 Cupboards, but no copy of the actual book? Mysterious…) So, yes, I would like to know what the creepy witch is up to before anyone else. Then I can just grin knowingly at my friends…should I share with my husband? Hm…

We look forward to the new book!

My daughter and I really enjoyed your other books, and cannot wait to read the next one!

We’d love one!

Big money! No whammies!

Hey N. enjoying the blog.

The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.

My lap please, Lord, my lap…!

Bought three of the 100 Cupboards bookplate specials, none of which made it to Ebay… that should the “random number generator” a little something of my charachter.

al sends

(thanks Nate! keep up the publishing)

Will it increase my chances if I know the literary source of Cupboard # 25: ‘Falls/Rauros/Alt’?…No?…oh, well…I suppose there’s plenty of Tolkien fans who are also readers of this book that would say, ’shucks, who don’t know that?’ Seriously, my family loved both Leepike and Cupboards and February is so far away…Keep up the fine work!

William Chad Newsom

I still haven’t picked up 100 Cupboards but a free copy of this one would make me have to buy it.

Thank you for the opportunity.

I’d love to win! What a fun contest!

could you put the word ‘tell’ twixt ’should’ and ‘the’

al sends a non-counting comment

I’m hopeful that, since we have purchased six copies of Leepike Ridge and almost as many of 100 Cupboards, destiny may favorably choose us for a free copy of Dandelion Fire. If not, we’ll buy a pile of ‘em anyway, I’m sure.

Sign me up…

I want one!

“You can’t get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” C.S. Lewis

Looking forward to it. The odds look good.

my entry…by destiny… for the kids

I can’t wait until February…

Since we’ll probably read this one outloud too, we clearly need it early so we finish at the same time as the speed-read-by-yourself-ers that we know.

Comment thus left.

Nate…
Are you sure I can’t tip this in my direction any way by saying that if I were to win the book it would be beneficial to you since I would HAVE to buy the first book, which I haven’t read yet? ;)

My family and my class at school are anxious to read the next installment. Random number generator, choose us!

I can’t wait until February, so count me in!

Put me in the hopper and give ‘er a spin. Big money, big money! No whammy, no whammy!

Oh. My boys would love to have this early…..

Matthew Abraham

Please sir, I want more!

And I’m in….

Looking forward to it!!!

Loved the first one!

.

Done and … done?

Here’s my comment.
I loved the first one as well as Leepike. Looking forward to more whether it be now or next February.

Count me in! I’m ready to continue the adventure…

Hey Nate! Rebekah and Levi need it, need it.

What a great chance, I’m in!

Thanks! And thanks for starting this blog!

Duuuuuuuude!

count me in. my boys would love to read book 2, and having it ahead of everyone else would make them feel special.

Hey I ripped my ceiling down, but of course I was not trying to look for cupboards, just trying to get rid of mold :-/

But a book would be great! :-)

The kiddos were sorely disappointed when I told them that Dandelion Fire wasn’t due out until February. They’ll be happy to know that we have a glimmer of hope to get it before then!

My sons want to name our dog Argus. ’nuff said.

Hand it over! (I promise I’ll share.)

My kids will thank you oh-so-much…

I want it so I can spoil the book for everybody else.

Thanks for the opportunity to win something I didn’t merit; those are the best prizes. For instance, I once won a coloring contest I didn’t enter.

Ooo, I’m glad this book is longer! :)

Please, please–pretty please?!

Kathleen Abraham

Matthew tells me this is hot stuff, so count us in. Thanks!

we read it with the whole family. looking forward to the next one.

I believe the random number generator is predestined to pick me.

I am soooo worthy. My children are even more worthy.

indeed yes

I’m in. C’mon big money…

OK, I’m ready to read it. Sock it to me.

I want it!!! “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive” this book! (Acts 8:19) :-)

Come to Papa.

Like a good little Calvinist, I shall leave it to providence.

We’ve checked the mailbox daily in great anticipation for the ARC you said you could lend to us, but to no avail. I guess we’ll join the masses in grasping for a first look at DF. Curran cannot wait. I keep telling him that Uncle loves him even though he hasn’t sent his book yet. Can we help that we are such huge fans?

I linked to you, and if this were Bekah’s giveaway I would get TWO entries. But if I win this one then I get a book and not bloomers. I won’t complain.

Payton Comis (age 6)

“I liked all your other books. ‘Specially the one where the boy goes into the cave and then fights the wicked witch. I also like it when dandelions catch on fire.”

There is a tiny hole in our girls’ bedroom wall and they swear that it leads to a cupboard.

My kids loved the first volume (as well as Leepike Ridge) and are anxious for this one!

I hereby submit myself to my destiny. “Ducunt volentem Fata, nolentem trahunt.”

Yay! So glad you started this blog. We’ve been fans of your work ever since your early collaborations with Mr./Dr. Sock. Thanks for the great giveaway!

Rots o ruck.

I’m in!!

The random number is 37. Do I win?

“He talks to me as if I was a bally fat-head!” said Lord Shortlands, who, being one, was sensitive about it. – P.G. Wodehouse

I may also be a bally fathead, but please condescend to send me your book (if random numbers can condescend).

You should look at SEOmoz’s Rock, Paper, Scissors method of awarding the next book. More interactive and still random.

Are there lots of the typical cryptic references to Scottish fairy tales in this one too?

Here’s hoping!

Read ‘em both. Liked ‘em. Will read this one.

whoa that’s a lot of comments already! i am not sure it’s possible to wait until the end of february, so please tell the random number generator to pick me. :)

So, Sarah Palin and John Knox go into a bar…

I can’t wait to read it! Actually, I can’t wait for my dad to read it aloud to my siblings and I. We’re all in our teens, but we still like being read aloud too, especially if it’s a 100 Cupboards book!

100 comments since last night…way to go!

Well this should be exciting.

I’d like to discover my latent specialness.

I’ll take one. Random number generator be good to me!

Picked up 100 Cupboards recently. My four little people and I are reading it and can not get enough. They will be pumped when I tell them the next book is coming soon. Holly Collins

Cubs down 2 games. Ugh

Our dog is named Argus. We loved 100 Cupboards, as well.
I would love to have an advance copy of Dandelion Fire!

Oooo, I’d take one!

I’m in!

I look forward to your posts about writing.

You’re going to need a lot of (virtual) dice!

Here is my comment. I love free book(s).

Loved 100 Cupboards!

Bless you!! We would love to have one!

A comment from me.

trying to type with fingers crossed….

We are anxious to read this new book!

No merit here.

Post! Of! Destiny![/squeaky mouse voice]

I hereby leave my fate in the hands of destiny…or my destiny in the hands of fate…or whatever.

I’m hoping it’s me – to give away for Christmas. February is so far away.

Looking forward to it!!!

What ho.

Is this fair?

come on random…

Pick me! Pick me!

I loved your book! Dark but also beautiful…

Okay, okay, I guess I’ll just pay for it!

I’m in . . .

Pigs in space.

I’d love a copy for my boys!

We’d sure love to give a copy of this book to our son for Christmas. There are SO few well-written and interesting books available. He enjoyed Leepike Ridge and 100 Cupboards very much. After Jonathan Rogers’ “Wilderking Series”, these have been our favorite read-aloud books for the whole family.

Is it really random?

I recently won a shopping spree in another drawing. Let’s see if this works again.

Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me us!

I think one of my four sons would really enjoy this book.

here’s my ticket.

I have never posted on a blog before.

Brittany Martin

Might as well try!

Rachel Brownlee

I love your family! :) No, I don’t know you except through your blogs, your books, etc. But you guys (you, Heather, Lizzy, Bekah, your dad, and your mom inspire me and MAKE ME SMILE!! :)

May God bless you all richly.

And also, remember, you have an influence…stay faithful!

I hope it’s me. My daughter needs another really good book to read right about now.

Loved Leepike Ridge!

I loved Leepike. I’m totally up for another good book

Lisa Kjeldgaard

Pick me, pick me! Said to the random generator…

If I win it will force me to finally get 100 Cupboards.

Valerie Foucachon

How shall I surive the 5 months till the official realease? May destiny be kind to me. :)

Thanks – in advance!

I surrender my fate.

“You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.”

This is a comment.

Please, please, please include me in your giveaway. Thank you!

My daughter loved 100 Cupboards and we are looking forward to this one in Feb…

Lucky number 166!

i like the title.

Here’s my official entry. Thanks.

Please sign us up.
Thanks!

Include me in.

here is me, signing up. Thanks.

I loved the first book! I hope I win!!

Count me in!

Christopher Witmer

Woo-Hoo! In my mind’s eye, I’m already reading the book, and I can’t put it down! You’re a genius.

We would really love it!

Yo give it to me. ;-)

A random comment for a random contest!

Sign me up!

Nathan Seldomridge

It would be so cool to be able to say I received an advance copy. And I’d probably read it, too.

I’ve read your other two books and really liked them. I’m 13.

We’d all love a copy!

Why not?

This won’t help, but I remember your first strange stabs at writing fiction in Credenda Agenda. Let me say that I’m glad you kept the strangeness but added things like plot and characters and stuff.

My kids and I were spellbound with your book. Thank you so much for giving us a hero who learns to be courageous and self-sacrificing. We treasure the copy you signed for us at ACCS. Congrats on your new one!

I will win because I am on a roll. Like butter.

Looking forward to reading it – just hoping I get an early peek!

Margaret Deaton

Hope I win!

For Laura, Jay and Kate who loved it when dad read them Leapike Ridge and then 100 Cupboards. Thank you.

My husband said,”Hey you might win Nate Wilson’s book on his blog, leave a comment,” and so I did.

I always win these kind of things.

Free is my favorite flavor!

Thanks for the giveaway. I can’t wait to read your book.

I never win these kinds of things…Sounds like fun!

Comment.

Oh my, I am comment number 200!

Wheee! Free book!

“oh, pick me! pick me!”

I want a copy and I’m going to read it before the kids do.

Is this a form of gambling? Ah well… I’m in.

Wow. That’s a lot of comments. But they say it’s impossible to win the Bucer’s weekly drawing, which, I assure you, it is not. And this clearly has better odds, so why not?

I’m in.

Hm, well, no harm in trying my luck… I’m planning on reading the first book in the series this Christmas break anyway. :-)

Great floating styrofoam barges, Batman! Can’t wait.

Anyone say me?

i’ll take one

I’m not going to say that I CANNOT wait until February, as I obviously will (if I MUST) — however, I would dearly love to re-enter the story with Henry sooner than later and I hereby promise to share it with my children….even if it means sliding the book out from under their hands as they sleep….PROMISE!

Read 100 Cupboards to see if it would be appropriate for my grandsons and really enjoyed the story! Would be thrilled to “pre-screen” Dandelion Fire, as well. Thanks!

Mine?

Does being a predestinarian give me an unfair advantage??

Unlike the lottery, this is free, so I feel no guilt in rolling the figurative and metaphor-mixing dice. Count me in.

Are you reading all these comments, NDW? Such profound pleadings from your voracious readers.

I desire it with great desirings.

I’d love it.

I want to enter the contest for your latest book.

having read the life out of the library copies of Leepike Ridge & 100 Cupboards when I had them, I need new NDW reading material. Please, random generator, pick me!
Is this gambling? Oh well, whatever it takes.

I need one for my England exile. It would cheer me no end. See you in Oxford my crazy cousin.

me to, I know I already am reading it, but I thought I’d enter anyway.

*raising hand*

Cailan Matthews

Thanks.

Please?

Your books are awesome.

Enjoying the blog.

I love your books :)

mmmmmmmmm, donuts

I’m shameless – I have nothing to say, but I’m poor, I loved the first book, and I want the second ;)

It’s worth a shot…

I’ve promised my husband not to buy any more books/CDs/etc. so the opportunity to WIN a book is terrific!!!

I just slightly reduced the probability of everybody else winning.

I like free books!

We are waiting as patiently as possible for February. If something showed up early, that would be great!

We like to listen to this book, too.

The price is right.

I can’t wait for this book!

Last December I read the first one to my younger brother in one night and I think he’ll be disappointed to wait ’till February, so randomly choose me.

C’mon… no snake eyes!

Oooh ooooh!

I loved 100 Cupboards and have been eagerly awaiting the sequel. I will wait longer if necessary.

Kia ora Nate,
We’re with the above comment. We will be back at school in Feb so won’t have the summer hols to read the next installment sitting in the sunshine!
AND we have to order through Amazon US and wait for shipping to NZ – ohhhh so long to wait………..ka kite ROOM3

We all loved 100 Cupboards and can’t wait until the next installment.

Well, I don’t think and communicate quite as well as many of the apparently avid readers who’ve commented already — I’m not even sure what “avid” means! So that’s why I need to read more books like yours.

Nathan Chambers

OK

I loved your previous books, and I hated the wait for 100 Cupboards, so here I am submitting a random comment, hoping, randomly, that I get picked!

Oooooh! Pick me! Pick me!

One roll of the dice …. :) Is it frivilous to pray that I win?

Hey, will you do a “classical elusions” breakdown of 100 Cupboards like you did for Lepike ? Thanks in advance … we’re not all scholars, sadly, but your books are a part of continuing education for some of us:)

Hath God predestined a copy of Dandelion Fire for me?

Thanks for the chance!

Wow, a chance to be bestowed with a copy of the long awaited ‘Dandelion Fire’. My brothers would be doing cartwheels to find it under the Christmas tree! Please count me in.

I’m feeling lucky… I’m a random kind of guy…

Well, it’s up to Providence. I hope Jesus doesn’t come back before February.

I think participation in turtle catching should get some play by the random number generator.

Kara Henreckson

Might as well offer myself up to destiny like the rest of them.

hanging out with the kids, coffee (starbucks and/or botticellis), and movie tickets to the random web number picker….
:) just kidding…i’d do that anyway…except i might just keep the melted chocolate covered espresso beans for myself if i don’t win…at least the white speckled ones…miss y’all!

I have been WAITING for this to come out. Hope I win! But if not, being able to purchase an autographed copy would be okay, too. ;o)

In the immortal words of Jeff Spicoli, “Awesome, totally awesome!”

Please, random generator, pick me! I know I don’t have anything particularly original, clever, or interesting to say, but I loved the first book (and Leepike Ridge) and February is far too long to wait.

I really, really loved 100 Cupboards and I can’t wait to read the sequel! I would die of happiness if I could read it early! Well, I guess I would stay alive long enough to read the third one… : )

My kids tell me I must try my chances with the random number generator in hopes that I can read this to them now instead of next year.

Lucky day?

Here’s to Hope.

that’d be cool.

Can I sell my winnings on Ebay?

we’re looking forward to it

Looking forward to reading it either sooner or later! And thanks for the post about classical references in Leepike Ridge.

296 comments already on your brand-spankin’ new blog! Wow!

You’ve created a great world for this adventure and I’m looking forward to the rest of the story.

We’re all looking forward to another great story by N. D. Wilson!

I am looking so forward to reading Dandelion Fire, then the chestnut king.

Could it happen to me?! Me?!

Okay, I’m entering for my husband… I think I notice at least ONE husband and wife pair in the entries! Very cute how their entries stylistically match! So, fair that I do it, too? :) …and Eden you’re too self-sacrificing. If you don’t win, you can borrow mine. If I don’t win, you’ll have to wait until Februaryish. :) Like I said before: What a fun contest! Even reading the entries are fun!

Hey, I’m 13 and I read 100 Cupboards and Leepike Ridge. I love your books! I hope destiny chooses me.

Don’t really believe in destiny. Never read one of your books. Not a great sales pitch so far, eh? But they sound great and so here’s me crossing fingers, eating lucky rabbits feet and filling my pockets with 4-leaf clover to try to get one…

Pick me. Pick me. Pick me. I loved Leepike Ridge and recommend it all the time to the kids (and teachers) that use our library (I work in a 5/6 library). I would love to read your new book. Finally read 100 cupboards this summer. Our kids love to be scared!!

Ooh, pick me! :)

Well here goes, could be me, who knows?

My wife and I read the first one out loud to each other. Very exciting. Looking forward to the next. Thanks!

I’ve never won one of these things so it has to happen eventually, right?

Classically hilarious comments for a Wilson (and particularly this Wilsons’) blog :)

Oh my, I can not believe the # of comments. YOu are much cooler then I relized, (or we are a very impatient bunch.)
We are just finishing the last chapter of 100 and we love it all. YOu keep writing and we’ll keep reading.
Bunches of love, from the Comis Fam

My wife can’t wait until February!

I just finished 100 Cupboards a few days ago–I loved it!– and I decided to come to this website to see if there was a second book published yet.

This could be extremely awesome….

100 Cupboards is fabulous–can’t wait for more!

My whole family loved 100 Cupboards and Leepike Ridge.

oh, pick me! Pick me! pretty pretty please!

I loved 100 Cupboards and Leepike Ridge, and Dandelion Fire sounds wonderful.

The first book was fun.

J’adore 100 cupboards and would love my very own copy of Dandy Fire (I would even be a good girl and share with my friends)!

Computers will be computers, may the 1’s and 0’s equal me…Thanks!

C’monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Bro!

Eden says,” I love school and I do it all the time. Uncle Nate is such a good writer and I love him very very much. You can pick me to win the book. I love you Uncl Nate!

My children loved the first book. Anxiously await the second.

I love this game! Pick me!

I don’t know if it can beat Right Behind personally.

Pirschel Family

February. My son asked me, “how many dark naps away is that?”. Many, Many dark naps, unless your dad wins his first drawing ever. I would be so cool!

Please and thank you.

Oh random computer selector thingummy I beg that you spontaneously and totally objectively select me for this drawing. I probably deserve it less than some others but maybe the length of this post will jam your random selectiveness and cause my spontaneous selection. I really would like it if it did. I don’t think I’m the longest comment yet so I guess I better keep writing. Since you are the one deciding, o random selector, I will now flatter you with much flattery. You are the most wise and sagacious thingummy ever to randomly select anything (that is, if you select me). And just in case this is not actually randomly selected I will now flatter the author by saying his books are some of my favorites, right up with the Hobbit and such. If that doesn’t flatter you than I don’t know what will, so I’m going to stop writing this extremely boring comment now.

Oh, my. Is it as scary as 100 Cupboards? Hope not!
On a side note, have you or your family read Mimus by Lilli Thal?

How lovely it would be-
to win this book for free!

awaiting another good family read-aloud…

Pretty please with sugar on top?

oh great random number picker of comments may you ever pick the correct number, ie me!

hoping for the luck of the feechies…

I’d love to win a copy! Thanks!

Can’t think of a better way to procrastinate about the whole homework thing…
Love your books!

Here’s hoping.

So I’m sitting here trying to think of something funny and clever to say. But I can’t. So I guess I’ll say that . . . I really want this book!i!i!

randomly generate MY number! We read Leepike Ridge together as a family and it was engaging for all of us…..regardless of age or gender! Here’s hoping for some more of the same!

Stephen Henderson

Here is my comment! Looking forward to reading it sooner or later.

Loved 100 Cupboards. Eager for Dandelion Fire.

Your books reveal that you were raised in Narnia. Can I enter more than once?

My children and I read 100 Cupboards together back in January. We enjoyed it very much and have been drooling for the sequel ever since. It has been a long year of waiting, for which you might be forgiven if the random number generator were to pick us.

ENTER ME!!!!! I am SO EXCITED!

Just in time.

Hope I win, it looks good!

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

I’d love to receive Dandelion Fire! The first book was superb!

Send me the book………….please………….with a cherry on top (he! he!)

I loved 100 Cupboards! (just finished it today) ;) I can’t wait until the next one is released!

I’m so sorry that we just found this! She had to pick her favorite author to do a 5th grade project on and picked you. Now we see this about a give-away of Dandelion Fire. OH! She can’t wait!

It is a long standing dream of mine to stand in front of a room of people (preferably the expensive penguin looking ones) and say, “Ladies and Gentlemen, Aardvark.” And then sit down.

I am ready to enter this next cupboard!
