Below are some author photos for media and events/appearances (photo credit Whitney Spotts). Click on an image to open in a new window or tab, and then you’ll be able to right click on that image to download the full-size high-res version.
I’ve had the photos for a while, and need to update them, and will (eventually). In the meantime, feel free to photoshop some wrinkles and gray hair in :)
The ones below are even older, but I think they’re fun (especially the one with the book cover), so I’m leaving them on this page for now.
