The Ink Is Yours

You can now order signed copies of The Luck We Carry from me!

There’s something about a signed book.

Not just the signature—though I’ll admit I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time practicing mine over the years. It’s the knowing. The knowing that someone held this exact copy, thought about you (yes, you specifically), uncapped a Sharpie, and made it yours.

The Luck We Carry has been out in the world for a little while now, and if there’s one thing I keep hearing, it’s this: people want to give it to someone they love. A friend navigating loss. A parent. A sibling. Someone who needs to know that grief doesn’t have to be a wall—it can be a door.

And now, you can get a signed copy directly from me.

Not a warehouse. Not an algorithm. Me—Ron, at my dining room table, with my Sharpie and probably a cup of coffee that’s gone slightly cold.

Here’s how it works: head to ronstempkowski.com, visit the Store tab, place your order, and let me know who to write the inscription to for someone who needs to hear it. (They will always be hopeful and optimistic.) I’ll take it from there.

Ken used to say the best gifts were the ones that felt like they came with a back story. I think he was right.

Order yours at ronstempkowski.com.

Onward.
