Romance Novel Trading Cards

Mar 13, 2011 | Books, Promotion, RT Convention, Readers | 11 comments

Have you heard of the romance novel trading cards that will be available at RT and RWA? See this site for details. Basically, authors are making character trading cards for their novels — and readers can collect them all! I thought this was such a cool idea that I had two cards designed.

Here's the card for The Devil's Heart:

And here's the one for Behind the Palace Walls:

These are side by side views. The cover will be the front, and the hero will be the back. If you're at RT in a few weeks, come and visit me at the booksigning and pick up your trading cards! When I get them in, I may offer to mail some out to readers who can't attend. Stay tuned for details!

    I swear I had no idea what yours looked like when I ordered mine. Just remember that, okay?

    Uh oh. Same guy? Same design? Mike came up with the playing cards thing with the hearts and crowns. We went back and forth on back color until I finally fell in love.

    What a great idea! I collected baseball trading cards when I was a kid, these are going to be more fun I think. 😉

    I think they are a wonderful promo tool. However, your bookmarks and post cards turned out to be fabulous. Starting The Devil’s Heart today after a sleepless night at my mom’s read Sandra Marton’s Not for Sale and Kate Hewitt’s The Undoing of De Luca; both very enjoyable.

    Did you and your side-kick enjoy LAX yesterday? I’m hoping you either post to FB or here, plus pics.

    I would love to have one of each of your trading cards. I am starting a notebook of the trading cards to share with my reader group and to promote books and authors they may not know of. susan Leech
