Remember how I said that marketing myself was going to be way better if I could do it with a friend? It already has been, even though my book with Mary Crockett<\/a> isn’t due out until next July.<\/p>\n

This summer, we decided we needed some publicity photos together, to show that we’re actually, you know, friends<\/em>. My mother offered to take them. So did Mary’s husband. But we decided we’d be more relaxed with someone we both knew really well, so we asked Cece Bell<\/a> if she could deal with us.<\/p>\n

And she did.<\/p>\n

\"\"We followed Cece up the mountain near her house in Christiansburg, Va., to an outcropping of rocks in the woods. (The woods are central to Dream Boy, and we wanted to make sure we were in them, even if the photos were just going to focus on our faces.)<\/p>\n

Cece was a real sport, following Mary’s directions…<\/p>\n

\"\"and accommodating our height differences.<\/p>\n

In a few of the photos, we tried to look pensive. But it turns out, we weren’t very good at it.<\/p>\n

We sent the rest of our photos to our publisher this week. We also got a glimpse of our cover, but we’re not allowed to show you that one quite yet. Stay tuned…<\/p>\n
