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.
Those are all good. I think “green Cindy” is the best.
Cindy, you look great. Green Cindy is my favorite too. And it’s good to have a pointy chin. Less chance of jowls when you get older. 🙂
Edie, alas, my chin isn’t pointy enough that I won’t have jowls. I have what I call a “soft chin.” You know, behind the pointy part, LOL.
I think it was just the way I was looking at the camera in the black blouse that made it look like my face was attacking the camera.
Ellen, thanks! Now to actually put them on the website pages. It seems I always have something else more important to do.
my beautful auntie <3 !
did u have this haircut when we did lunch??
looks good 🙂
Thanks, Chels!
I can’t remember. It’s the same basic haircut I’ve had for the last several months. But it NEVER looks the way it does right after I get it cut, which is why I chose that day to do the new pix. I’ve never had the knack of making my hair look as good as a hairdresser can. Or maybe I don’t have the patience. Or maybe I just don’t care!
Sexy!
LOL, Avery, you’ve been drinking too much go-go juice.
