Another quick frivolous note -- we finally got prints of the author photos, and I scanned them in, so here are small versions, which you may do with as you please.


I think we're using the first one on the book, though the more I look at them, the more I think I actually like the second one better. But, whatever. Either is fine -- and yes, I'm sure lots of the earlier ones were just fine too. It's a good thing I'm not an actress, or I'd clearly be impossible to deal with. Thanks for enduring all my fretting about them. Be glad it's over.
Glad to hear the most recent news about your family in Sri Lanka. Though I like both photos, I feel the second one is stronger because you are looking at the camera and a joyousness seems to come through your eyes.
