If you want something quick and practical, start with the online marketplaces — AbeBooks, Biblio, and eBay usually turn up signed Simon Tolkien copies if they’re available. I also keep a tab on Bookshop.org (for indie stores) and the bigger national booksellers that sometimes offer signed editions during new releases. Another easy move is to follow the author’s official channels and local bookstore event pages; that’s how I snag notices of signings and occasional signed runs.
A few warnings from my own buys: always ask for clear photos of the signature and any provenance, check seller ratings, and be careful of listings that simply say “autographed” without detail. If you strike out, try contacting the author or publisher to ask about signed bookplates — a lot of authors will send those or will publicize upcoming signings. It’s a bit of work, but finding a genuinely signed copy feels worth it.
Hunting for a signed Simon Tolkien copy can feel like a little literary treasure hunt, and honestly I love that part of it. The best places I’ve found are a mix of in-person events and reputable online dealers. Start by following the author on social media or signing up for any mailing list — authors often announce bookshop signings, festival appearances, or limited signed runs there. I once waited in a drizzle at a local festival for a signing and walked away grinning with a freshly signed edition; those moments are why I collect.
If you prefer buying rather than waiting, check specialist marketplaces like AbeBooks, Biblio, Alibris, and BookFinder — use the filters or search terms like “signed” or “inscribed.” Independent bookshops (try Bookshop.org links to local stores) sometimes list signed copies too, and larger chains occasionally offer signed editions during special releases. For the ultra-cautious, rare-book dealers and auction houses can be great, because they usually provide provenance and condition reports.
A few practical tips from my experience: ask for clear photos of the signature and any provenance, prefer sellers with strong ratings, and be ready to pay a premium for true signed first editions. If you can’t find a signed book for sale, consider requesting a signed bookplate from the author or attending a future event. Above all, take your time and enjoy the hunt — it makes that signed spine on your shelf feel earned.
I tend to treat signed copies as both keepsakes and small collectibles, so my searches are methodical. First, I scan marketplaces that specialize in used and collectible books: AbeBooks, Biblio, and Alibris are my go-tos for signed copies because sellers there often list inscriptions and provide condition notes. eBay can work too, but I’m extra careful to check seller feedback and look for close-up photos of the signature. If the listing mentions a certificate of authenticity or provenance, that’s a big plus.
Next, I check publisher channels and independent bookstores. Some publishers or bookshops run limited signed editions at launch, and independent stores sometimes hold signed stock or can order one from their distributor. I also watch charity auctions and literary festivals where authors donate signed copies. When buying, I ask questions: is it actually signed by the author or merely a bookplate? Is the edition a first printing? Can the seller show a photo of the signature? For international purchases I factor in shipping, insurance, and return policies. Small things like these save headaches and make the purchase feel secure.

Signed Away Under the Full Moon

How much could an Alpha compensate a woman before the compensation started to look like a joke?
Kaelan Blackthorne was very good at compensating me.
He was rich enough to own mines, ports, a pharmaceutical empire, and half a financial district. He was also the strongest Alpha the Blackthorn Pack had produced in centuries.
And I was his unmarked mate.
For three years, every time he postponed our mate ceremony to comfort Vera, his widowed sister-in-law, he sent me another gift. A blue diamond necklace. A room of couture gowns. His mother’s platinum crown.
Every time a velvet box arrived at my door, Vera sent me a video.
[So what if he buys you pretty things? I’m the one he stays with when the moon rises.]
[You get his guilt. I get his time.]
I didn’t cry. I didn’t beg. I didn’t grab his sleeve and ask why he was leaving me behind again.
When Kaelan postponed the ceremony for the sixth time, he finally promised it would happen in three days. This time, I only picked the most expensive crown on the list and handed him the transfer papers.
He signed without looking. For the first time in days, his eyes softened. “After the ceremony, Eve, I’ll take you to the Full Moon Vow Ball. Every pack will know you’re mine.”
I smiled, put the papers away, and said, “Okay.”
I just didn’t tell him what he had really signed.
It wasn’t another gift list.
It was my application to cancel our mate ceremony.
"Life and Death are like green and red: you can't be both, but you can be neither. "
Will you accept if you were given a chance to live forever? Or would you rather live with the fact that life ends with death? For Simon, there is no other choice than to live until everyone dies. All he wants is to be dead, but how?
"What happens when you meet a tall and handsome elf king who has saved your life but kill your temper?"

"I'm more of a man in this house. Why can't you let me be on top?" Sean asked with a pout.
Oswin groaned, rolling his eyes and wondering just how much more innocent Sean could be. "It takes a heavy responsibility to be the top," he replied.
"Responsibility? Then it's perfect. I'm making more money, cooking,..."
"Sean. I'm talking about things like stretching and penetrating," Oswin explained as he ignored the bulge in his pants. "Do you even have experience?”
“Then teach me, your majesty.”
“With pleasure.”
~*~*~*~
It all starts when the elf king, Oswin Alvingham, mysteriously gets stuck in the human realm and loses his powers. As he roams the unfamiliar一dirty and low class if he is to describe Earth, he stumbles into Sean Cooper, a fresh graduate, and a full-time table-waiter, who gets bullied in the alley. Though Oswin's magical power is lost, his physical strength remains invincible. When he rescues Sean, the latter decides to take him in as gratitude. And that is where the mess begins. How can the king of the elf cope with his new life? How can Sean convince himself not to be evil enough to kick his savor out of his house? Most importantly, how do an average mortal and the noble upper-class immortal live together under the same roof and on the same bed?
~*~*~*~*
P.S:
1) This book contains mature and explicit 18+ scenes.
2) It also contains little graphic violence in some chapters, but I'll put a warning on the top of those chapters.
3) The ELF here is inspired by Lord of The Ring Series. Therefore, they are tall, slender and beautiful. Not tiny little beings like in children fairy tales.]
Julian Silas is a man living as a shadow. After the suspicious death of his father, a legendary royal jeweler, Julian’s treacherous stepfather seized the family’s prestigious workshop, forcing Julian into a life of clandestine labor. While his stepbrothers parade around high society in Julian’s designs, Julian remains locked in the cellar forge, known to the world only as a common servant. His only connection to his true identity is a pair of heirloom cufflinks—exquisite silver swans bearing the "Cigna," a secret mark used by his ancestors to authenticate their greatest works.
Across the capital, Queen Althea is fighting a war of her own. Her advisors are pressuring her to enter a loveless political alliance to stabilize the crown. Defiant, she hosts a grand masquerade, declaring that she will choose a consort based on character, not a pedigree curated by the council.
When Julian arrives at the ball in a suit of his own tailoring, he and Althea share a night of genuine connection, discussing the beauty of creation and the weight of duty. But as the clock strikes midnight, a palace security breach forces Julian to flee. In his haste to scale the garden wall, one of his Cigna cufflinks is torn from his sleeve and falls into the dewy grass.
The Queen finds the token, but rather than sending her guards to find a man who "fits the suit," she turns to her greatest strength: her intellect. She recognizes that the "Cigna" isn't just an ornament—it’s a Coded Sign.
Book two of A Dragon’s Legacy, sequel to Dragon’s Breath.

After a meeting with the notorious Horde of Fates, Eleonora travels to the Hidden Forest of the Fae. The Fae were proud allies of the Perilous horde during the great Fires of Alira. Now over a thousand years later the Perilous horde is once again turning to the Fae for help.
Eleonora's and Flavius's relationship is challenged as new unexpected problems arise during the war with the horde Betsalel. Will Eleonora once again close herself or will Flavius be able to pull her from the depth of despair.
During these troubled times, new people come from the shadows, some friends others foes. Will Eleonora be able to uphold her relationships and settle in as the new chieftain of the Perilous horde or will everything burn once more?
Lyra Vale has always lived a careful life in a world where humans share uneasy truces with supernatural beings. But when the mysterious crescent-shaped mark behind her ear begins to burn, she’s drawn to Moonmark Ink—a tattoo shop in the dangerous, supernatural-controlled town of Ashridge Hollow. Her plan to cover the mark quickly unravels when she meets Ronan Bane, the magnetic, alpha werewolf who has been haunting her dreams for months.
Ronan knows exactly who Lyra is: his fated mate, caught between two worlds as a rare half-human, half-wolf. Their connection is undeniable, but Lyra is unaware of her heritage or the pull of her first moon heat. As desire intensifies, Ronan must protect her from rival packs, prowling vampires, and the political dangers tied to her bloodline—especially if she’s connected to the powerful and dangerous Duskfang Pack.
Torn between fear and an attraction that defies logic, Lyra is forced to confront truths about her lineage, the supernatural politics of the Hollow, and the primal bond tying her to Ronan. In a world where trust is fragile and predators lurk in every shadow, surrendering to their connection might be the most dangerous choice of all.
Marked by Moonlight is a steamy, suspense-filled paranormal romance about fate, secrets, and the burning pull of a love written in the stars. It is also a four-part series telling the tale of not just Ronan and Lyra, but of the people they trust.
Each book blends into the other as they find a way to survive the war to come.
I’ve been collecting signed books for years, and I totally get the thrill of owning a signed copy. For S J Tilly’s books, the best places to check are her official website or social media pages. Authors often announce signed editions or preorders there. Bookish merch sites like 'Book Depository' or 'Barnes & Noble' sometimes carry signed copies too. If you’re into indie bookstores, 'Powell’s Books' or 'The Strand' might have signed stock occasionally. Don’t forget conventions or book signings—though you’d have to keep an eye on her event schedule. eBay and Etsy can be hit or miss, but sometimes sellers list signed editions there, though prices can be steep. Persistence is key—signed copies sell out fast, so follow her updates closely!
here's what I've found. Author Erin Bow occasionally does signings through indie bookstores, especially during book tours or literary festivals. The best way to snag one is to follow her social media or check her website for announcements. Some stores like Powell's Books or The Strand occasionally stock signed editions when authors collaborate with them. Online, Book Depository or AbeBooks might have signed copies listed by third-party sellers, but you gotta watch out for authenticity—look for certificates or seller reviews. Local bookshops sometimes get surprise signed stock too, so it's worth calling around.
If you're willing to wait, author events are gold mines. Erin Bow has participated in virtual signings through platforms like Livestream, where you can order a signed copy directly. Libraries hosting her talks might also offer signed books for sale afterward. For collectors, subscribing to newsletters from her publisher (Disney-Hyperion) helps—they sometimes release limited signed editions. Remember, signed copies sell out fast, so setting up alerts on eBay or book retailer sites can give you a heads-up when they pop up.
