Success must be a real bitch! The problem comes because they can't just type their signature out and attach it!

They have such authentic looking signature stamps these days that I'm surprised they don't use them. To make it even more authentic, they can have several stamps made each with a slightly different mperfection indicating that the author got a bit fatigued while signing.

I had to stop using my stamp because I lost my stamp pad. lol!

Might as well pre-sign all the books. Then, customers can add their own personalisation. It's a variation on the stamps idea, abe.

I am getting pretty busy, signing my books and all. I media-mailed a copy of Gunshot Echoes to Utah yesterday and another one to Martha's Vineyard today, and I had to sign both of them. I'm not so sure about this writing life. It may be more work than I want.

Geez if I'd have read this sooner Malcolm, I could have just scanned in a signature and had it scanned into every book!

Scanning. Hmmmm. What will they think of next?

Yeah, Pam, scan it and attach it to the half-title page with duct tape.

Ah Malcolm, do you own stock in the duct tape manufacturer?

Subject: Re: Falling Behind on Your Book Signings??? Thu Aug 21, 2008 9:49 pm

I often thought a little branding iron would do the trick

I like the branding iron idea better than the duct tape, Lin, since (Zada) I sold my stock in the duct tape company years ago thinking the stuff was a passing fad.
