To celebrate the release of A Perfect Blood, I will be signing at 16 cities through late February and early March. The freebie of Rachel's pack tattoo for a SASE is gone, but I will have them at the signings. I am also continuing the tradition of Tour T-s. Wearing one to a signing gets you into the "family photo" at each stop, but they're great conversation starters even if you can't get to a signing. If you have a shirt from a previous year, that will get you in the photo, too!

Signing Etiquette: Because of long lines and long series, I’ve had to structure how to handle those of you who bring in the entire series and anthologies. I'll happily autograph two books with a personalized note, then just autograph the rest. Or . . . I can personalize the first two, and you can get back in line for another two, and so on. Or . . . bring your friends and have me sign/personalize books to you through them. It’s the note that slows things down, and I can sign my name all friggen day long and not get tired. -laugh- Dawn Cook titles are okay, too.

Most stores do not mind if you bring in books that you have purchased elsewhere, but if you do, they appreciate it if you buy something, anything, while you are there. The cold fact is that if they don’t make sales while I’m there, they likely won’t ask me back, so please take the time to acknowledge that they have invested a bit of money in asking me to visit your area if you are not purchasing A Perfect Blood at the event. It doesn’t have to be my book, but trust me, they keep track of sales during an event. It’s also a good idea to call the store and reserve a copy if you don’t pick one up ahead of time. I have occasionally run out.

I've noted when the store has a buy-it-here-for-a-place-in-line policy. It’s a good idea to call and reserve a copy if you don’t pick one up ahead of time as I occasionally run out. It also gets you ahead in the signing line,

Photographs are okay! I usually have a chair beside mine where you can sit for photos. There is generally someone with me who is a wiz-bang at cameras, and he or she will take our picture for you.

Update on B&N's signing policy. You must have a wristband. Signing policy--Barnes & Noble will issue numbered wristbands on a first-come, first-served basis to customers beginning at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, March 6th. A book purchase of any Kim Harrison title MUST be made to obtain a wrist band. A wrist band is your ticket into the signing line, and will be required to get any books signed. At 5 PM, if we still have a significant amount of numbered wrist bands left, then we will open the wristband line to anyone who has a receipt from Barnes & Noble for a purchase of a Kim Harrison title from between February 21st and March 6th, but based on expected attendance, we DO NOT suggest waiting! We promise to have stock of all the back titles in the Rachel Morgan/Hollows series, including The Hollows Insider and Blood Work, the graphic novel, but cannot promise stock numbers will last throughout the day.
