I wonder what sells for YA though? <br /><br />Sadly it's a golden rule that (perceived) ugly will not cut it. If you're avatar is anything to go by, you shouldn't have a problem...especially with that light sabre.Martin Willoughbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605554706836638988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528106444793810674.post-212862456693571402012-06-28T13:35:28.050-06:002012-06-28T13:35:28.050-06:00I missed this before...caught it when I came over ...I missed this before...caught it when I came over to leave my comment earlier...<br /><br />...headshots aside...cleavage always works for a woman...a cute puppy, anyone.<br /><br />*snort*<br /><br />(now I'm feeling weird...so what do you think of my FB picture?...are you even on Facebook?)Author R.

For some reason good looks result in higher credibility, despite the fact that being born good looking is entirely random. I think authors should be able to protect their privacy and not feel that they must participate in the marketing of their looks, besides their books.lotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206966488150932065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528106444793810674.post-33260569774595667192012-06-27T22:23:42.086-06:002012-06-27T22:23:42.086-06:00Aww -- your avatar is cute.
