ANTON STROUT
Give the gift of yours truly with special personalized holiday bookplates
I mean, really, who wouldn't want to receive a book with THAT kind of bookplate in it, right?
One
again the holidays approach and soon they will be kicking us right swift in
our roasted chestnuts and before you know it we will be hurrying on into the
new year.
But for every moment from now right up to the holidays, my Grinchlike heart grows
three sizes, they say, and I get giddy with holiday love.
If
you plan on giving any of my books as a gift , I will send along a personalized holiday-themed bookplate to
go along with each of them... as long as it's in the
US of A.
Sorry, both of my international fans!
Aside from a personal bit of written rambling from me, I am also quite prone to drawing some pretty mean snowmen, reindeer, candy canes, what have you....
Email me at anton.strout@gmail.com with the subject "Holiday Bookplates." Include the name of the recipient so I can personalize them, or let me know if you'd prefer general holiday snark instead. Don't forget an address, either the recipient of the bookplates or yours, depending on how you're gifting them my books.
Please spread
the word to those you might think want to give the gift of ME and my
Simon Canderous urban fantasy series for the holidays. Retweet and
Facebook it at will, and Happy Holidays!

What people are saying about the Simon Canderous series:
"Simon
Canderous is a reformed thief and a psychometrist. By turns despondent
over his luck with the ladies (not always living) and his struggle with
the hierarchy of his mysterious department (not always truthful),
Simon's life veers from crisis to crisis. Following Simon's adventures
is like being the pinball in an especially antic game, but it's well
worth the wear and tear."
-Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, aka HBO's True Blood
"Simon
Canderous is the kind of guy who can do magical things with his
hands…literally. With only his wry sarcasm, self-deprecating humor and
preternatural 'talent' for Psychometry to keep him out of trouble, Simon
navigates the supernatural underbelly of New York City with a style and
panache worthy of a thousand sequels."
-Amber Benson, author of the Calliope Reaper-Jones series and co-author of the Ghosts of Albion
"Urban
fantasy with a wink and a nod. Anton Strout has written a good- hearted
send-up of the urban fantasy genre. Dead To Me is a genuinely fun book
with a fresh and firmly tongue-in-cheek take on the idea of paranormal
police. The laughs are frequent as are the wry smiles. I'm looking
forward to seeing what he does next."
-Kelly McCullough, author of Cybermancy, Webmage and Codespell
"Real magic in a real, gritty world and a hero whose moral compass wavers--delightful!"
-Tamora Pierce, NY Times bestselling writer
"Part
Ghostbusters, part Men-in-Black, Strout’s debut is both dark and funny,
with quirky characters, an eminently likable protagonist, and the
comfortable, familiar voice of a close friend. His mix of (mostly)
secret bureaucratic bickering and offbeat action shows New York like
we’ve never seen it before. Make room on the shelf, ‘cause you’re going
to want to keep this one!"
-Rachel Vincent, author of Stray and Rogue
