PHOTO A and A NEW COVER!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote on my new headshot.  Photo A won out hands down!  There were some great arguments for photo B — the natural setting, lighting, etc. but majority rules.

Of course, even more exciting and more important than the new headshot is the new covert art!  Rob Wood designed the cover for The Improper Life of Bezellia Grove, (Shaye Areheart Books / 17 August 2010).

I imagine that it’s a daunting task to portray the essence of a story in a single image and please a committee of editors, marketing and PR experts all at the same time.  But that’s what Rob has done, masterfully so. And even though Wood lives in Maryland now, his family tree is rooted, just like mine and Bezellia’s, deep in the Tennessee dirt. So it feels particularly gratifying that his art will be surrounding my words.

Thank you Rob!
