This summer my husband and I bought a new car. The dealer who sold us our new car could have sold ice to Old Man Winter. He was that personable. And he was clever. Very clever.
Within minutes of introducing himself, he told a short humorous story about the nickname his nephew gave him and why. As a result of that story, we had a way to remember his name. Plus, by sharing an inside family joke, he made us feel like family.
Part of me wanted to say, "I know what you just did." But I refrained from bursting his bubble.
As a result of his sales tactics, I've been thinking about how I can introduce my name to readers in such a way they won't forget my name when they're at the bookstore.
So - here is what I came up with. Imagine dinner bells are ringing, and it is time to go inside to eat your favorite pizza.
Lisa rhymes with Pizza Wells rhymes with Bells.
