The Koontz Bookmark is a fun textured decoration to mark your place in your favorite book. It is a fun and easy bookmark that can be made in any color or multiple colors and is perfect for vendor markets. These are also perfect for back to school, teacher gifts, birthday or holiday gifts, to just spoil a book lover in your life, and so much more.

The Koontz Bookmark is named for one of my favorite authors; Dean Koontz. I was 13 when my brother went into the military and I gained my brother’s collection of Dean Koontz books. I read Watchers and immediately fell in love. His novels are billed as suspense thrillers, but frequently incorporate elements of horror, fantasy, science fiction, mystery, and satire.
