After my first novel was accepted for publication, my editor asked for an author picture for the book. She suggested an informal pose with one of my animals. Well, I have a golden retriever mix and two cats. First, I tried pictures with the cats. Both had their ears flattened down and wore expressions (as close as cats come to such) of utter disdain, as if I was squeezing the life from them. Not exactly the way I wanted to come across.

Then, I had several taken with my dog. She loves the camera. I promise you; she looks like she's smiling the moment someone points a camera her way.

Suppose you can guess which of my pets made it to the book...
