Hello, my name is Brittany. I'm a Stephen King fan, obviously, though I haven't been able to dwell as deep as many others. My husband and his mother are long time fans and it's very contagious. I'm currently reading my first Stephen King book and I'm completely in love. I've watched many of the films based off the books and they're all wonderful.

Biggest reason why I've joined the community is to honestly find a way to get a book signed for my mother-in-law. She is an amazing woman who has fought her way through life as a single mother working full time until her career was halted by Multiple sclerosis. A severe case of Pneumonia had forced her into a coma which she barely survived, coming out of it with brain damage. She still fought for herself and her children. Even today, with the medical problems and financial issues, she doesn't take anything lying down. She's stubborn, doesn't let anyone help her, and when she can afford it she helps those around her. She's physically incapable of working yet she still talks to me about how she wants to retake her tests and go back to working as an X-Ray Technician. I feel so blessed to be part of her family and to have married her wonderful son. I aspire to be like her in so many ways. I want to be a mother like she is. So strong, caring, and absolutely wonderful.

I'm sorry I went on and on about this but as I started typing about her, I just went off in my own little world. She is such a wonderful human being and I just want to do something for her. So here I am, looking for a way to get book signed by her favorite author. It's the least I could do for her. So if anyone could help me out, point me in some directions or maybe Stephen himself could be so kind as to read this and perhaps help me out, I would be so unbelievably grateful. You'd be fulfilling not only my dream, but hers as well. Thank you.
Good luck - you sound like a wonderful daughter-in-law - Welcome to the SKMB!
