My bookmarks, let me show you them
More show and tell today.
These are the bookmarks that will be available at various events, starting with RT. I'd only intended to get a few hundred, but since Bettie did such an amazing job on them, I'm definitely getting a bunch. What do you think? Pretty hot, right?
The Bettie of whom I speak is, of course, Bettie Sharpe, who wrote the awesome serial story Ember, which has been running weekly on Bam's blog. She's also got a novella, Like a Thief in the Night, coming out with Samhain in January. "She’s a heartless assassin; he’s an immortal thief. In another life, they would have been lovers. In this one, he’s her target and she’s his prize." What could possibly be better than that? Well, only a full length novel. You're not going to want to miss it.
How did I wind up with Bettie doing design work for me? Well, I fell in love with the cover for Ember, and I surfed over to her website, where I found a gorgeous banner for her novella as well. So I emailed her to ask who does her design work. Imagine my surprise when I found out she's a double-threat, an amazingly gifted author who can design gorgeous stuff like this too. Holy crap. I hired her immediately, and set her to work making beautiful things for me too. Mwahahaha!
I'm thrilled with these bookmarks, as you can well imagine. As Rick said in Casablanca: Bettie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
And you can trust my judgment. Just ask Carrie. *grins*
PS that story Ember owns my soul
And she was like, "Ok, give me a few and I'll hook you up."
I didn't have to think about the design at all, which is awesome because visual arts are really not my forte. I could draw crooked stick figures, for real. It's great when you have a designer who can accurately interpret what you want out of unclear writer blatherings, but it's even better when you have a creative dynamo who can whip up something wicked on her own.
