One of the poetry groups I’m in has been asking about marketing ideas for books. Sometimes a little time and thoughtfulness can make all the difference to a reader. (I promise this story circles back around.)

Soo… I finally got around to uploading my Christmas photos from my camera to my computer, and there was one in particular I wanted to share. Often I give my friends and family books for holidays and birthdays and such. For Christmas I ordered a copy of Shawn Speakman’s The Dark Thorn for my sister. She loves fantasy and I love introducing people to new authors.

Anyway, the book came autographed! How cool is that! And come to find out, it was the first book my sister has owned that’s been autographed by an author. (Not counting any of my ramblings, of course. Because, you know, your sibling’s writing never counts.)

So I had to take a photo of my sister with her first autographed book. A little thoughtfulness made her holiday extra special.
