So I guess it'd be pretty easy to 'dress up' as her if ever I am blessed with success such as yours, the only difference being that I don't shoot walking corpses...

I think Kim Harrison looks adorable as...err...Kim Harrison. Paranormal Romance writers, like Liz Maverick, look cute in their costumes. Cherie Priest looks adorable in her steampunk outfit on the back of Boneshaker. At the same time, I have seen some pretty bad attempts by authors to resemble their characters. <br /><br />As the new media becomes a more integral part of the author platform, I think we will continue to see authors trying to find a way to promote their books in any way they can. Whether it is good or bad is most likely in the eye of the beholder.<br /><br />I'm sure as I venture out to events people will assume that I am putting on a persona.Rhiannon Fraterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04884113621201620171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036727394555497114.post-62519015052675400392010-04-07T05:00:41.728-05:002010-04-07T05:00:41.728-05:00I'd be horrible at press junkets...

As for persona... I don't think I could pull off being anyone but me. I like me! I drink beer, tell crude jokes, and ride horses with no saddle or reins... Who else would I want to be!<br />By the way, gorgeous photo, and I loved your 'Up' reference...

I wouldn't, unless I knew a really good SFX person.<br /><br />But I have noticed the trend for female authors mainly to "dress the part" of what ever genre they are writing. Some pull it off, some look horrible.<br />Its all part of branding yourself. For me I will come in what i want to wear, but usually can't because of work or what ever (yeah I have a closet of goth clothes gathering dust :( so sad). <br /><br />Nice to see that you are sticking with who you are! Because why should an author change their look to match what ever they are writing at the moment. Too confusing for me.Mari Miniatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826580849818642804noreply@blogger.com
