I have a new avatar! I’ve never been comfortable with my own photo as the way people recognise me online. I loathe having my photo taken. Flinchy-time then seeing the photo when I blog, Facebook post or tweet. So, I’ve gone with a simple avatar that kind of, happily reminds me of Scooby-Doo 🙂
This is the new me!

I like it. It says paranormal romance to me – spooky house with love at its centre. 🙂
D – that’s exactly what I wanted and hoped people would see 🙂
I like your photo. You look like a fun person.
That said, don’t the experts claim authors should have an actual author photo so readers can feel connected?
“don’t the experts claim authors should have an actual author photo so readers can feel connected?” They absolutely do! But … I am obsessed at the moment and have been studying a few of the authors who are selling how I want to: paranormal romance in Kindle Unlimited. Bella Forrest uses one of her book covers as her Amazon avatar. Amanda M Lee uses her name, literally cubed into the avatar box, as a logo, and a photo of her cat 🙂 If it works for them … I thought it was worth trying!
PS but I am leaving my own photo for when I comment on blogs 🙂
