It was so nice to see you and Wendy at the JRW Conference. It was equally nice to be able to get your book and start my read. The cover is really captivating, Annette. And as an aside - love, love me a good office supply store!!

Ah, that’s so sweet of you Georgie. I hope you enjoy it. And thanks for the compliment on the cover. It was a collaboration between Phil and me. I love it too. Office supply store here we come!

Jeffrey Yamaguchi of "Book Publishing Brick by Brick" suggests designing a bookplate - like one of those old-fashioned stickers libraries would use - that you can use for events if you run out of books, or to send to people instead of a signed copy - write a personalized note on it, and they can stick it in their print copy. :)

This is great. I had thought of putting a sticker on the blank page but I hadn’t figured out what to put on it. Now I know! Thank you!

I’m with you, I loved stationary of any kind - and still do. We had very strict teacher who insisted that we always wrote on the first line of a new page in an exercise book. She said if you left the first line empty on every page, by the end of the book it was equal to a whole wasted page! 50 years later I still remember her words!

Isn’t it amazing how those lessons stay with us? I think a lot of writers share a love of stationary and office supplies in general. It’s a fun obsession!
