I wanted to take this time to wish all the mothers out there a warm and happy Mother's Day. Of course, you deserve much more than a special day for all you do but on this Sunday, know that the nation does recognize you and what you have done.
I was thinking that all the authors out there have a wonderful, special and unique gift that you can offer this Mother's Day. I'm sure your mother has read your book, but why not find a special woman you know who has been a wonderful mother to someone and give a copy of your book as a gift. A warm inscription could make it a treasured keepsake that means so much more than the mere pages of the book.
Also, even though it may be a little late to mail a copy of your book to someone to get there in time for Mother's Day, you can still offer to sign a book for someone who wants to give your book as a gift to their mother, complete with a Mother's Day wish from you. You may find that this unique gift rivals that of flowers and candy... well, maybe not chocolate, but probably pretty close.
Regardless of how you may use your book to make that wonderful mother feel special, my sincerest Mother's Day greetings go out to every mother who has sacrificed so much for us children.
Happy Mother's Day

Tony, I'm so glad you're reminding your peeps about M.D. Some of us need a little nudge. I did something similar with an e-mail because Magdalena Ball and I have written a poetry chapbook with a mothers theme. It is "She Wore Emerald Then: Reflections on Motherhood" and, as it happens, is available as an e-book for those who need to send something a distance at the last minute. https://www.createspace.com/3347966

What a wonderful idea- An inscribed chapbook! I think authors may underestimate how intimate and special a gift like that is.
That's a neat idea, Tony!
