An unexpected use for Holiday Catalogs
by Lorraine Bartlett / Lorna Barrett / L.L. Bartlett
I don't know about you, but I'm being inundated with holiday catalogs. Yeah, yeah, this happens every year, but this year it's even MORE ridiculous. One company, Signals.com, was smart. Right on the cover it says, "SAVE THIS CATALOG! It's the last you'll receive this season."
That kinda makes me want to buy something from them, just to reward them.
But the fun thing I've discovered is that these catalogs are giving me LOADS of ideas for the graphics I can make that could directly apply to my various series. Take this one, for Tricia and Angelica Miles and the Booktown Mysteries.
Or this one for Victoria Square.
And this one for my Jeff Resnick Mystery series. (Jeff is a part-time bartender.)
I'm in the process of coming up with some for my new Lotus Bay Mysteries ... which is now available for pre-order ... but it's a little too soon to share one of those. I'll be doing that on Facebook and Twitter. If you want to follow along, you can find me by clicking any of the links below:
