I have a handful of bookmarkers. Tall, thin, wide, fat, half-fold with magnets. Famous names burst from the magazine-finish markers. Debbie Macomber from Mira Books
http://www.debbiemacomber.com/. Or, Dana Mentink published by Barbour in mass marketing
http://www.heartsongmysteries.com/. Silver Rush Historical Mysteries Series by Ann Parker
http://www.annparker.net/ published by Poison Pen Press is an inch or two taller than the others. All are magazine slick finish, mixed color schemes from deep browns sprinkled with azure to buttercup with pastel flowers. Annette Langer, a local writer,
http://www.annettelanger.com/, hands out matte-finish bookmarks for both her books self-published through WingSpan Press.
See that holly and pinecone bookmarker to the upper right? A gift from Lani Longshore
http://lanilongshore.wordpress.com/, it’s crafted from holiday cloth, backed with green plaid and bound with machine stitched edges. It lays flat in large books, and the top button and beads guide me to my place. Lani isn’t famous yet, but she will be! Her unnamed sci-fi novel whets the skills of our California Writers Club
http://www.trivalleywriters.org/ novel critique group. If an agent doesn’t pick up Lani’s manuscript, I have permission to borrow her name for one of the good-guys in my mystery novel. My bookmarkers? I’ll link them to one of my characters, an avid reader who is a craftsperson when not solving crimes.
