The Carpe Diem Café series of contemporary romances and romantic comedies by Deborah Cooke continues with Just Like Starting Over

SWAG for Readers

I always have goodies available for readers, bookclubs and conferences. If you want multiples for an event or swag for goody bags at a conference, please let me know when you contact me. Here’s a summary of what’s in the goody stash right now:

Postcards and Bookmarks
Postcards come and go. I have new ones printed whenever there are new covers, because I really like to share my covers. By the time the postcards run out, there are usually new covers to be shared. I also like putting an entire series on one big postcard, so you can see all of the linked books together.

Here’s the current one for Flatiron Five Fitness, with Flatiron Five Tattoo on the back. You can see that I had it printed before Just Home for the Holidays and Just the Wrong Twin.

There’s a Dragonfire bookmark, with all of the new covers. (This is a screenshot of the design – the actual bookmarks have rounded corners.) The Incendium bookmark shown below has been updated – the front is the same but it has all ten covers on the back. There are also DragonFate bookmarks, with the first four book covers on the back.

I also have Dragonfire temporary tattoos that look like this. The image is 1.5″ across.
I send them out in threes – one to wear, one to share and one to keep.


I have Claire Delacroix bookmarks, too. The first is for the Champions of St. Euphemia, showing the new covers:

The second new one is for Rogues & Angels series. This is a screen shot of the design:

I also have a postcard for The True Love Brides with all of Ravensmuir and Kinfairlie on the back. These have the man-chest versions of the Rogues of Ravensmuir covers, instead of the current ones, just fyi.

To get postcards, temporary tattoos and/or bookmarks, just send me an email or comment on this post. I’ll need your mailing address to send them to you. I can send you a selection – we always send multiples of each postcard, so you can share – or you can specify what you want. If you have a reader’s group or a store, and want more than a couple, please let me know.


New dragon swag from Deborah Cooke

I also have some jewelry and other bonus items, like dragon balls, earrings, jeweled bookmarks, and book charms, but I save them for people who order copies of print books from me.

Those are the dragon balls at right, because I know you want to know. They each have an orb of a semi-precious stone with a dragon wrapped around it.

If you do buy a print book in the Store, you’ll get a little surprise tucked inside, as well as a selection of SWAG. 🙂

    Deborah – THANK YOU!! I received the post cards today and they are GORGEOUS>> I had no idea they were BIG (like your heroes)!!! I can frame them and hang on office wall; that should be some conversation starter (I just started a new job – at 70)…love them…i love the book plates too; so smart to use for signing and save on postage – I am very grateful for your mailing them air mail —

    Now – excuse me, please – I HAVE SOME BOOKS TO READ 🙂

About Me
USA Today bestselling author Deborah Cooke, who also writes as Claire Delacroix

I’m Deborah and I love writing romance novels that blend emotion, humor, and happily-every-after. I’ve been publishing my stories since 1992 and have written as Claire Delacroix (historical and fantasy romance), Claire Cross (time travel romance and romantic comedy) and myself (paranormal romance and contemporary romance). My goal is to keep you turning the pages, no matter which sub-genre you prefer.
