Autographed copies?

Things have been tremendously busy around here the past week or two. Thanks for the suggestions for donation possibilities for the Neatnik's school's fundraiser. I put together and donated a knitter's delight basket.

Open bookToday was a gift wrapping session at the school, so I brought in my donation and while I was there working on baskets, I noticed that someone had contacted Dean Koontz and he sent us an autographed copy of one of his books!

Can someone please explain why/how this did not occur to me? Me, the incessantly reading blogger??

Just shot off emails to a few of the authors who have commented on my blog.

Yes, we are still way behind and the event takes place in just a few weeks from now...

PS - If you are a published author who would be willing to donate, please leave me a comment so I can provide contact details, including snail mail address. I promise to shout about your coolness to all and sundry! Thanks.

Wow. That is a brilliant idea. Um, any particular authors you can think of in the mystery/scifi/fantasy genres that might have big draw? Uncle Hugo's/Edgar's sells autographed copies for the same price and has quite an array...

Okay ... so off topic but do you have a kindle? I was thinking about reading while walking now that the weather is nicer. The kindle is so lightweight and convenient (no page turning and all) ~ I was wondering if you've had experience with it.

Maybe an author would sign a Kindle ;)

I'm sure the publishers could issue a limited edition of Kindle copies with the author's signature on the fly leaf or cover page.

What a great idea.
