Can I send you a SASE from Germany because I would love to get a bookmark.
What size should the envelope have? I guess the ‘normal’ size?

Hi all,
to get free bookmarks/ bookplates, send a SASE (one first-class stamp is enough) to:

Hi Tess, I can’t say enough about your writing. Rereading all all the Jane and Maura until “Ice Cold” comes out. I hope you come to the Cleveland area on your book tour.

Hi Tess – I get confused. Your posts come up on my “Home” page and I comment, then I find the same post on your blog and feel that I want to leave another comment. Anyway, I still believe it unfortunate that you have to do so much promotion work yourself after working so hard to produce the book in the first place, but I guess that’s the way life is these days. Please let us know if any of your promotion material is destined for the UK, as many people over here would like to apply for a signed bookmark or bookplate. Please also push your publisher to get you an invite to the UK this coming year – we want to see you.

Best wishes – Gordon Brice

Rhonda,
when I carry around bookmarks, I rubber-band them into bundles of about 100. They’re so rigid, they don’t get banged-up. (Of course they add a lot of weight to my purse.)

Flash — hope to see you in London next year, if they bring me over!

Earl — this is a great topic for a blog: what happens as the months tick down toward release. I’ll come up with a post about just that topic.
