“Babe Crucci” of Deadly Lullaby is signing autographs for his readers

We have added Authorgraph to this website for readers who would like a personalized autograph from Robert McClure , author of Deadly Lullaby . Although Authorgraph purports to work with multiple eReaders, thus far, it seems to work best with Kindle (the actual device or the app) in so far as the ability to download the completed Authorgraph into an eReader. If you use an eReader other than Kindle, and even with Kindle, you can save a PDF image of the Authorgraph to your computer.
If you already have an Authorgraph account, you need only click on the Authorgraph button on this webpage to be taken directly to Robert McClure’s Authorgraph webpage where you can request him to sign an autograph and even send a personal note if you choose. If you are new to Authorgraph, below are first time Authorgraph account set-up instructions. (NOTE: The author’s technogoobs tried this out and found this to be really easy — so do not be alarmed by these instructions, which are merely a fall back for those who like an overview of the process before launching into it.)

Look for Request Autograph and the Authorgraph button on this webpage. If you are on a desktop, you’ll find this in the top right sidebar of the page. If you are on a mobile device, scroll to the end of this blog post where you will find the “Request Autograph” button. Clicking on the Authorgraph button takes you directly to the Authorgraph webpage displaying the Deadly Lullaby book cover.
Under the book cover, click “Request Authorgraph”.
Type a personal message to Robert McClure if you want and submit.
You are then prompted to set up an Authorgraph account, which helps protect the author’s email inbox from spam and also allows you to search for other eBook authors from whom you may want an autograph. Enter your name (first name, pseudonym, etc.) and a valid email address.
Important: Go to your email and open the email from Authorgraph and click “Verify your email address”. This step is necessary to ensure that email requests that authors receive for autographs are legitimate and are not spam, etc. Verification of your email will take you back to the Authorgraph website where you will complete the set-up of your Authorgraph account, which enables you to receive the signed book cover from the author.
Enter a password and click next. (Remember your password – you will need it later to access all the Authorgraphs that you collect from eBook authors.)
Select “Your primary reading device” from the drop down menu (e.g., Kindle, iBooks, Nook, Kobo, Other) and click on “Update”.
When Robert has completed your Authorgraph request, you will receive an email notification from Authorgraph.com. Open the Authorgraph.com email on the device with your eReader if you can access your email there. Alternatively, if you have a browser on your eReader, go to http://www.authorgraph.com, log-in, click the drop down menu under your name, and click on Your Collections where you will be able to open and download the Authorgraph into your Kindle or Kindle mobile app. (NOTE: If you open the email or log-in to Authorgraph from your desktop or a device not containing your eReader, you can save the Authorgraph to a PDF file, however, the feature for downloading the Authorgraph directly to your Kindle will not work. You must open the email or the Authorgraph within the website or email from your eReader device.)
When you open the Authorgraph , an image similar to the following will appear:

Click on Download to Kindle and, on the next screen, click Open in Kindle and Voila!, the signed Authorgraph now appears next to the Deadly Lullaby eBook in your Kindle.

Collections in Kindle. The Authorgraph can be moved from the Kindle Books list to a “Collection” within Kindle that you can create just for author’s autographs. This might be preferred by readers who collect multiple Authorgraphs from authors. The following illustrates, using an iPhone, how to create an Authorgraph Collection within Kindle and how to move a downloaded Authorgraph into that Collection.

Open the Menu in Kindle and select Collections:

Click the plus + sign in the circle in the upper right corner to create a new Collection. You might name it Autographs or Authorgraphs.

Click on your new Authorgraphs Collections box to open it and then click on the plus + sign and select the Authorgraph to add to this Collection. You will now see the Authorgraph inside your Authorgraphs Collections box.
