For a while now, my favorite “author photo” has been a photo my wife snapped while I was having a margarita in San Diego. I looked like I was in my element, I guess. But that shot is now a few years old and the format doesn’t really work for print and such. So… I asked talented photographer Kelly Manno to “make me look pretty.” Here’s a selection of my new author shots. I’d love to hear your thoughts on them.
