Sophia asked Shannon Messenger:

Hello Shannon Messenger! My name Is Sophie and I am a BIG fan of your Keeper of the Lost Cities! And my birthday was coming up in November and was wondering how I could get your autograph. Unfortunately, you are not coming to my city. So WHAT SHOULD I DO? I have emailed you the details and if you respond that will be very helpful!

Shannon Messenger Hi Sophie--great name!

I'm more than a year behind on reader emails, and I always answer in the order received. So I'll do my best to answer here.

You have a couple of options. Number one, you could take advantage of the pre-order giveaway I'm doing for Lodestar. If you pre-order the book before 10/31/16 and fill out a form on my website, you'll get a swag pack sent to you, and that includes a signed bookplate to stick inside your copy.

Or, if you want a signed book (or books), you can order them through any of the Independent Booksellers I'll be visiting on tour and have them ship to you. And if you decide to go this route, I've actually arranged a special deal with Changing Hands Bookstore in AZ, where if you order from them, you'll get a signed book plus some extra swaggish goodies. All the details on that are on my website, in the post about the preorder giveaway. Go to shannonmessenger.com to check it out.
