Scavenger hunt
One
of the most exciting things for me about having a book in print is the
idea of my loyal blog readers stumbling across it in their library,
bookstore, or Tractor Supply. The
Weekend Homesteader is already available in some bricks and mortar
sales locations and should be hitting most of them this coming week, so it's
time for a scavenger hunt!
It's easy to play (and
you may even win a prize). Just snap a photo of yourself with my
book, whether in your bedroom or out in the world, and email
it to anna@kitenet.net,
post it somewhere else and link to it in a comment below, or put it on our
facebook page by
Sunday (November 18) at midnight. I'll pick one photographer at
random and mail you a signed copy --- there aren't many of these
floating around because I'm not selling them, only giving them to my
favorite people.
Meanwhile, if you'd like
a bit more substance, check out my
Destiny Survival Radio Interview. (I'm actually afraid
to listen to it since I'm not a very good public speaker, but at least
you'll hear my Appalachian accent before I get confused halfway through
the phrase "your eyes are bigger than your stomach.") Readers
might instead like this guest post about when
emergencies are a fact of life better. Or check out two of my favorite book reviews so far, one by my sister, and one on About.com.
Thanks for reading (and
scavenging!)

About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

What a great holiday season for you and Mark this year. I am so happy for the success you two have experienced the past several years through.
You two have shown many of us that hard work and persistance does pay off.
I will be looking for your book.
i think you did awesome on the podcast interview. You really have a broadcast voice, your socalled accent gave it credibility and a nice color. It would be nice to have Mark do the interview with you next time, like stuff from his viewpoint, etc. You should doa series of posts or even an ebook on couples relationships and how to complement each other on the homestead, how to deal with difficult times when things go wrong, how to reach middle ground in differing viewpoint regarding the homestead, even a little something on how to keep the lovin' on goin'.
Keep up the labor of love guys.
Pedro --- Thanks for your kind words! I was actually thinking of trying to slip Mark into this podcast, mostly so he could chime in when I mess up.
Since you think it's a good idea, I might ask if we can do that next time I'm invited to a podcast.
I've considered writing a farming relationship book, but the truth is that Mark does 99% of the heavy lifting in our relationship (just like on the farm). Clearly, he needs to write it.
One of my favorite bloggers has a book called Green Sex coming out next summer. Maybe that's worth reading while you wait?
