I took new author photos in February. Two things inspired me to do this:
(1) I had a birthday and realized my current author photos are 3.5 years old. I’m attending the RWA National conference in Nashville this year. I can’t have people looking for a Cindy from 3.5 years ago and not finding her. I mean, can you imagine? I have wrinkles I didn’t have 3.5 years ago! I have grays (cleverly disguised for vanity) that I didn’t possess then—not counting the skunk streak, which has hidden in an area behind my right ear since I was 6.
(2) I got my hair cut.
Yes, I know, getting a haircut isn’t a very motivating reason to take new author photos. But I never have morning haircut appointments. This time I did. There had to be a reason for that, right? I was fated to take new author photos!
God knows when I’ll get around to loading them onto my website. I’m targeting next weekend.
“Green Cindy” will probably replace the picture on my Bio page (bigger than it is here):
“Purple Cindy” will likely go on my Home page (smaller than it is here):
“Blue Cindy” is for Facebook and the like. I took it to match the colors of my website, then decided I wanted more contrast. Thus the green and purple.
Little Pisser helped me pick them out. So if you don’t like them, tough. I had one in a black blouse, but she said my chin looked like it was attacking the camera. Can’t have that. Damn pointy Procter chin.
