Proof of Life

So I got the proofs of my author photos last week. Looking at them wasn't as painful as I expected. However, no one should really look at 167 pictures of themselves in a row. It is, as predicted, weird.

Also, showing your mom 167 pictures of yourself and NOT expecting her to ask you for copies of all of them is totally unrealistic. Equally unrealistic: her expecting you to actually follow through with that. Because no one needs 167 pictures of me. Not even my mom.

In related news, however, I should have new facebook profile photos for ages.

My lovely photographer, Corinne Ray, is going to do some photoshop work and return the finalized copies to me very soon but I didn't want to keep you in suspense any longer. I mean, my god, it must be killing you to find out what these photos look like, right? So, without further ado, here are the watermarked proofs of two of my favorite shots.

I call this: Brooklyn Author.



I call this: Me in a Window. Titles are my specialty, clearly. 

Hopefully, you'll be seeing photoshopped versions of these soon in a browser near you!

    I love them both, and I can tell the White Album is playing.

    Thanks, guys! Will, is it because my eyes are saying everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey?

    Seriously fantastic images! The tough part will be deciding between them (or don't decide, and just, you know, have a "gallery" section on your website ;)

    Thanks, Sarah. Ha! I will probably use one for the site, blog and maybe the other for Twitter/Goodreads etc. Also, if I ever write a romance novel, boy do I have a fantastic image to use for the back of that book. :-p

    window one...I mean your window is nice and all but it's more the pic of you by it that I like. I need more tea I think...

    Thanks, Katie. You're totally right about that window. Sometimes I find myself just staring at it in longing. It's been a confusing time for me. :-p

    They look great! I do very much like the window one :) I hate getting my picture taken, but clearly I just need a better photographer than me or my friends, lol!

    Thanks, Lynn! I also hate getting my picture taken. I had a very good photographer and a friend of mine, who's an actress, suggested I put music on to help me relax. It helped a lot.

    They look great! I'm partial to the first one just because it's so "New York" and I think captures more about you :-)

    Lovely. I really like the outside one. Very Autumnal. I just got my professional photos done too. I haven't seen them yet but that's ok. That just means they are spending tons of time photo shopping...and that's fine by me. :-)

    Z, since you look gorgeous in 100% of photos taken of you ever, I'm not worried.
