A:  I no longer maintain a post office box,  so there's no easy way to send me a book to sign.  If you're really determined, you can send a book to the respective publisher (information available on the Links page) and request that it be forwarded to me.  

Be warned that this is a time-consuming and expensive process. You'll need to pay for postage three times over, and include two padded mailing envelopes.  On one of these, write my name as recipient and leave the address blank.  Address the other to yourself.  Make sure both have sufficient postage affixed to ensure that the book will find its way to me, and then back to you. Media mail take a week or more, but it's the most economical rate.  

Recently I discovered a much more convenient way of handling these requests.  If you're familiar with PayPal and would like to purchase a signed and personalized book directly, drop me an email with the relevant information.  If I've got a copy of the book (or can get one reasonably quickly,) I'll contact the folks at PayPal with your email address and transaction details.  (The cover price of the book will also cover postage costs and PayPal fees for shipment to North America.)  They will send you a notice with payment instructions.  It's easy and secure, and anyone who shops Ebay already knows the drill.
