I think the best photos are where you are smiling as it reaches your eyes.. which personally I always look for! All the other pics are gorgeous still - I just loved the smiling ones :)
I put two of my fave photos of you on your FB post! The ones here are good but don’t really feel like you to me - except maybe the reading is my love language one if you have a version where you are smiling or laughing because that is more you. I think a shot of you with a drink relaxed at your own desk like we see you during book club would be perfect to be honest. As a bookseller I see so many authors pics and so many of them look stilted and not open and relaxed. Ignore the advice from marketing - readers want to see authors in their natural environment not a studio pic.
My problem is my hair. The light rebounds off the silver (I am not grey, I am silver) and it’s thin there and in photos it looks like I have no hair. Hence I dont have many photos! If someone needs a latest photo for a wanted poster it will be a work one because she took it 3 times to get the angle of my 3 chins right and we got no head glare. I dont do photos either!
Loved your photos bottom one was harder to pick though i loved the first one but the reading is my love language and the heart skirt is so much quirky you
Pink shirt fluffy pink background
Thanks! x

Thanks. - If only I could smile in MORE!! x
I think from the voting the readers don't agree with you about your smile being wonky. And how about those shoes!
Oh trust me - I didn't include the REALLY wonky ones! And I know - obsessed with these shoes! x

Sadly I no longer have pink hair!!! And they're not high res, hence why I needed to get some new ones! x
You’re a happy go lucky person so I love your smiley ones. Absolutely adore your shoes! 💕
Aw thanks. Obsessed with the shoes too! x
Pink shirt and floral background for top group and the first photo in second group with your lovely smile 💜
Thanks for voting :)

sometimes a cute hat or scarf can be the perfect frame for a face ❤️
LOL on the wanted poster!!
I have never discounted a book because of how the author looked and you look lovely!
No, I'm sure that's rare ;) Thanks. x
We need to see those Shoes!
I prefer the pink shirt with pink background, it makes YOU the focus, and think it would look best in B/W also
Thanks. Good to have one that works in Black and White for b-format books! x
Such hard choice/s cos I reckon you looked fab in all of them Rach!
Aw thanks! x
All gorgeous! xx
Thanks m'dear! x
Yes I hate having pics taken!
Sigh! It's so frustrating, isn't it!? Why can't we look like we FEEL?! lol x

It's definitely good for romance author me! lol x
We love your smile!
Aw thank you! x
I relate so much to your comments about makeup and smiling. I love taking photos but am usually disappointed with ones taken of me. You look fab!
We're so harsh on ourselves, aren't we? Thank you though. x
Hard to choose Rachael … you look so good in different ways in all
💞💖💞
Aw thank you! x
