Whilst wrapping up 11 solid hours of final copyediting today (and I’m still not done!), I received an email from the great and gloriously talented Amy Howe. Amy is a photographer from Dallas, TX, and she did the photo shoot for my author photos last week. After ridiculously strong winds and many laughs (partially thanks to Kallie Matthews of Twilight Series Theories), here are the results:

One of these photos will appear in the book as my author photo, and will be used in all promotion for the book. Which photo do you think would work best as an author photo? Tell me in the comments!

Last weekend I took a big surprise flight home (the flight I almost got noosed for after forgetting to bring Twilight with me). I hadn’t been on a plane since I was ten, and since I’ve got about 4 flights planned this year I figured it was time to make sure I’m not allergic to heights.
As the plane began to take that leap into the air, I felt this strange thing moving in my throat. Oh no, I thought, Something in my neck is loose and I’ll suffocate when we go faster. Luckily, my esophagus did not close up, I survived the trip up, and had a riotously fun time during my trip. I also discovered that flying is awesome, and I just can’t get enough of turbulence, when the plane suddenly dips to the side and your body screams the whole thing’s going down. Really, it’s like a roller coaster.
On the American Airlines website where you pick your seats, however, they failed to show where the huge, obnoxiously noisy engines sit. I painstakingly avoided the wing for the flight home, only to find myself sitting directly beside engines almost the size of me. It was a wonderful predecessor to listening to the Scarlett Johannson song, I must say.
So there are some of my photos from back at the farm. I took even more than this on video, so I’ll probably have some new Youtubes of Isabelle The Famous Pig coming soon.
