I meant giving your Queen as a gift, not giving your Queen a gift, but come to think of it, that's just fine, too.

For laughs with a little inspiration thrown in (or as Denver Magazine declared, "Eat, Pray, Love - without the depression") give a signed copy of QUEEN OF THE ROAD. Perfect as a stocking stuffer or other holiday gift - even for yourself!

Email me (hit the "contact me" link on the right) for free, signed bookplates! (As many as you like, but more than 10, I may get a restraining order.)

Adorable, no? Complete with peel-and-stick backs that paste right in the book. Your Queen, Our Royal Coach, in Alaska. What could be bad? (My handwriting, I know. Sigh.)

Don’t forget to include the first name of whoever you would like the bookplate made out to (for men, I'll usually write, "Enjoy the ride!", but if you have a preference, as long as it's PG, I'm game) as well as your address. Postage is on me! (Yes, that’s all you’re getting for the holidays. What do you want from me?)

If you’d rather have an actual signed book, I’m happy to oblige, but you’ll have to pony up via paypal, check or credit card for the book and postage. Email me and we’ll work it out.

Queen on and happy holidays! You know what I’m making for both holiday meals, right? Reservations, of course! (Oh, you know me so well, don't you?)
