At least, I sincerely hope not! This is just for publicity stuff. The publisher does sometimes put photos up on their website.<BR/><BR/>Do me justice, Karen??? The only justice at my age is that all those lines and wrinkles say you have lived a life...for quite a long time.<BR/><BR/>Gillian - why would author photos have to be formal? Actually I found one by accident yesterday, where the author on the back flap is seen eating a slice of pizza, with the string of melted cheese connecting plate and pizza - and the book is about stick insects.Glenda Larkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113271268122909969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-1154334620866856912006-07-31T16:30:00.000+08:002006-07-31T16:30:00.000+08:00I agree with everyone :).

The pictures aren't quite formal enough for author photos, but you in that setting and enjoying life is way more interesting than the first set of photos. The thing I care about most is you smiling, because you have such a gorgeous smile, though, so if the stick insect raises the smile then use the stick insect picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-1154334256916561582006-07-31T16:24:00.000+08:002006-07-31T16:24:00.000+08:00I agree with anghara - and I've played with huge s...I agree with anghara - and I've played with huge stick insects too when they've found their way onto our patio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-1154332089940678822006-07-31T15:48:00.000+08:002006-07-31T15:48:00.000+08:00If you have (or can borrow) a laptop, how about a ...If you have (or can borrow) a laptop, how about a pic of you working away with a rainforest backdrop?
