HOW WOULD YOU SIGN YOUR SIGNATURE FOR A FAN ?

1/23/2010

Hi....


I juts came across an interesting subject, if a
fan approached you, how would you sign your
signature ?...
The author wrote that with today's ID stealing
it's not a good idea , I once with one of my books
was going to have a hand written note included
with my signature but a friend of mine told me
" Don't do it ! " They could copy your signature.
Me, I would sign it completely different ...


Cheers...Joe...

D. K. Christi is a shortened version of my name and though filed as a legal alias, it has no personal history connected. If anyone copied my signature, D. K. Christi, it wouldn't open any doors except to help my name gain recognition :-)

That was a great idea, wish I thought of
that ! I did once use an old family name , I
thought it didn't look right ?
Josef De Barnabe' ......

How about Barnaby Joseph?

Dmondeo..

Sounds like a vampire's name, remember
the show " Dark Shadows " ? Barnabas..


Cheers...Joe

When I sign my name it is so people can identify that it is me. My personal signature is quite different.

Something I learned about signing books -

The first time I took my books to an Audie Murphy convention, I had several buyers tell me that they only wanted my signature and a date, no short note. I was curious until I learned that those buyers were collectors, and the signature would be more valuable to them later on, when the book became a collector's item.

Oh Alice and I was just about to throw myself at you in the street!
I guess I'll just have to admire you from a distance then.

Alice and Carol are back!!!

"We're back in business, boys. Just like the good ole' days."

OK, guys, who am I quoting??

Ann

Oh, heck, I had to Google it! Wouldn't ya know?

Butch Cassidy: Well we're back in business boys and girls, just like the old days.

Once banks stopped paying attention to what my real signature looks like on the signature cards, I stopped worrying about it opening any doors for any thieves.

I can even sign my checks with an illegible scrawl and the things go through. Unlikely my signature on a book is worth a hill of beans for stealing my vast wealth. :-)

If I were ever in a literary circle, I would be known as Wooffer's mom. That is how I sign. Not that I have worn a callous on my writing fingers, don't you know.

I usually just sign mine as follows:

Warmest Regards,
Richard Stanbery

And sometimes I put a little note if they want one. I figure that one day it might be important to try and sign them all alike, pretty much.

I wonder how Agatha Christie signed her fan books?

I generally like to add some sentiment.  Like,  "Up yours, geekboy" or something.  Keep them from cashing in on my fame by re-selling the book.

I ask...
Some folks want it signed to someone. Others just want just a signature.
I usually write, My best, Rhett DeVane...or...Enjoy!

Plus, I use my nickname as my pen name, so my legal signature is quite a horse of a different color.

Which brings me to another issue...how do you sign an e-book?
LOL

I have had a few of my readers a bit aggravated that I can't put a signature on the upcoming vampire parody, to be released soon as an e-book.

Maybe I could just sign their foreheads instead? Hm...

Signing the foreheads. Hm...
Let me know how you do that.
