A Christmas Reckoning

Today is a momentous day, the first shipment came in of my dad Art Wilson's first novel, "A Christmas Reckoning" - you can find it on Amazon.com.

He's got four books written and he does all his own illustrations in Adobe Illustrator, including this cover. Dad, you're incredible! Congratulations!!!

"A Christmas Reckoning" is a contemporary story set primarily in Downtown Chicago. It is about a group of folks that are brought together in an Antique Shop on Christmas Eve. They come from diverse backgrounds, but share the burden of an unexpected and radical weather change. Other concerns, howe...
