Free Batty Tattoo!

Woot! Aren’t they cool? Thanks once again to the awesome Emi Tanji for designing batty for the book!

Batty Tattoo

New cool STBM Book Swag!

You want one? You know you do. Just do the same thing as when you’re sending off for a bookplate (and if you need one of those, I’ll send one out too!). Send me a self-addressed stamped envelope and I’ll send you one. For those of you who’ve never done an SASE before, here’s what you do:

  1. Get TWO envelopes (business size is best since I can fit bookmarks in those…and you want a free bookmark too, right?)
  2. Envelope One: Address this envelope to yourself. Put a stamp on the envelope. Set aside.
  3. Envelope Two: Address this envelope to me at: Kimberly Pauley, PO Box 303, Grayslake, IL 60030 and put a stamp on it.
  4. Write me a letter telling me a) what you want (i.e. batty tattoo, bookplate, etc.), b) how you want your bookplate signed if you want one, and c) anything else you’d like to tell me (and I totally LOVE getting letters, FYI).
  5. Put Envelope One into Envelope Two. Also include your letter.
  6. Drop Envelope Two into the mail and then wait!

A Batty Bat Tattoo!

Ok, so this is like the coolest thing ever, no? A fan (named Serina, kinda like in the book, but spelled differently) actually got a tattoo of the awesome blue bat from the book! Both versions, actually — happy bat and angry bat. :-) Just take a look (this is an in-progress photo, without all the shading done, but you can definitely tell what it is going to look like!!):

She’s w-a-y braver than me. I’m not good with needles! Though if I got a tattoo, it would totally be Happy Bat! Thanks again to Emi Tanji for designing such an awesome batty!
