So, since it's a month and a week until my VERY FIRST NOVEL'S LAUNCH (Oh muh GODS, SPARKLES FOR EVERYONE), my awesome and incredibly talented sister, Laura, who does everything from video creation to photography, did a photo shoot for my author photo on Saturday.

Normally, I have rockin' self esteem, but it's kind of been through the floor these past few months (have no clue why--I'm working on it. :)). I was nervous about the photo shoot--would any of the photos even look PASSABLE? I've wanted to be published since I was a little kid, and fantasized about my author photo forever, and NOW we were DOING ONE when I was feeling NOT SO GREAT about myself? Sheeshers, my poor sister. :P She took a mopey girl, put some effin' fabulous makeup on her, and--together with this AWESOME, VINTAGE TYPE DRESS that I'm wearing to our book release party--I ACTUALLY GOT A PHOTO I LOVE OMG.

And here it is, ladies and gentlefolk!

And then, because she's awesome, kitty took some pictures of Jenn and I together~
