My business cards arrived. Wait. Why do I need business cards in this digital age? People email, store contact information on phones, look up everything on the web, follow RSS or Facebook pages. Well, not everyone. In Raven Memory, Steve Reynolds only uses paper, none of that techno-gadgetry. Sometimes it’s still easier to leave a card in person, or stacked somewhere curious eyes may stumble upon.

I printed my cards vertical so they double as bookmarks. Useful for printed books, but not for ebooks. Well, at least some people still read physical books. I went with a printing service, one with a convenient web page, that could take my graphic image to include it on the card.

Honestly, I don’t really need business cards. The cards are cheap, simple, and might actually come in handy. If caught in the woods after dark, they could always be used as kindling to start a fire. And if a creature of the night stumbles upon the campfire, I’ll have plenty of cards left over to hand the dark intruder. She may even want to buy a book!

The front contains the standard information including what sort of stories I write. On the back is a list of my books including two future stories, because there will still be plenty of cards left depending on how often I need kindling.
