It's the fantasy of communicating with the author that the photo makes possible. Now whether that *sells* books, I don't know. But it does affect one's plesaure somehow.

I think one should be inventive - pull a face, paint your face - or I have a great one of justine drowning in a bath :)) personnaly I think author photos are boring – I sometimes get very disapointed in a writer from the photo – doesn’t stop me reading it but something dies a bit if I see them with a pompus smile on their faces in cliched suroundings.
