Appearances
Autographs
I don’t personally like sticker bookplates for author signatures because I wouldn’t want to put a sticker in my personal collection of books, so if you don’t want the expense of paying to ship a book two ways, I offer Signature Tattoos.
Can you tell that’s a sticker? Not unless you look carefully! I have clear labels big enough that I can personalize them if you’d like me to write more than just my name!
Of course, I’d love to see you in person, but if you’d like one of these, send me a self-addressed stamped envelope and I’ll send you one (or more)! Just let me know what you want! Address: Melissa Jagears, PO BOX 4795, Wichita, KS 67204

Book Clubs
I am available to Skype or Facbook video chat with any book club reading my books. Just email me and we’ll set up a date!
I don’t write discussion questions for all my books, (my books with discussion questions in the back are A Bride in Store and A Heart Most Certain), so here are a few sources for book club questions that should work for any novel.
