Fiction
Expiration Date by Duane Swierczynski. Unemployed reporter Mickey moves into his sick grandfather's place. The next day he wakes up and everything is the same: cars, the elevated train, the same stores. But, Mickey has woken up in the past, and has met the 12-year-old kid who will murder Mickey's father. Crappy little postage stamp black-and-white author photo.
Exclusive by Fern Michaels. Author photo has Michaels sitting on a couch with three dogs and trying to smile.
Nowhere to Run by C.J. Box. Another novel in Box's Wyoming game warden series with Joe Pickett. Box is supposed to write great, exciting novels but I have not read one yet. I suppose I could start with this one. Box was at Murder and Mayhem in Muskego and never took off his hat. He left it on for his author photo too.
A River in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters. Amelia Peabody is banned from the Valley of the Kings and takes a trip to Palestine with another archaeologist. Amelia's arch. partner wants to find the Ark of the Covenant. Peters is posing with a hat for her photo has it lying (laying?) next to her and is posing in an Egyptian ruins settings. Peters has a different author photo than I remember from before. I think she used to pose wearing a Pith helmet.
Laughed 'Til He Died by Carolyn Hart. "A Death on Demand Mystery". Hart's author photo is fairly straightforward studio snap.
The Telling by Beverly Lewis. Lewis also has a studio snap but it has that blurry-hazy look added to it.
The Last Time I Saw You by Elizabeth Berg. Another studio snap but with black-and-white and more contrast.
Holly Blues by Susan Wittig Albert. Another studio snap but with one of those weird poses where Wittig is holding her hand up under her chin.
The Killing Edge by Heather Graham. Full color author photo on the back cover that is more of a glamour shot with graham's hair down and arranged and big earrings.
Cat of the Century by Rita Mae Brown. Brown does not have an author photo. She has a picture of a green eyed cat on the back cover.
Blame by Michelle Huneven. Another studio shot with good lighting. I like this shot the best.
Large Print With No Author Photos
Think Twice by Lisa Scottoline.
Shattered by Karen Robards.
The Sheen on the Silk by Anne Perry.
Caught by Harlan Coben.
The Silent Sea by Clive Cussler.

You wouldn't really want a larger photo of Duane, would you?
I could cut my hands off. Would that help?
No. That would make it way too difficult to type.
The photo is one of those older style poses that I have never understood. But, I like this one better: http://www.storycircle.org/booksigning/graphics/PB130569A_3x5_144dpi.jpg
Sure. That's a nice photo--and about 10 years old. Where's your photo, so we can critique it?
Susan with the weird hands
Your hands are not weird. It's the pose I think is weird.
