A fun promo item that has cropped up in romance circles is romance trading cards, designed as collector’s items for various conventions and conferences. As I mentioned once in this post at Odd Shots, I have long history of collecting these types of cards, and so there was no way I could resist making my own. (See other authors’ cards here.)

These sets are printed in limited quantities, but I will always keep some to give away through my Facebook page, my newsletter, or my blog. So even if you don’t attend the conferences, there is always a chance to win a set!
