Do you think any of these pictures taken yesterday would work as a book jacket photo if I ever get published?
Oh, yes, Happy Bastille Day. Vive la Revolution Française, vive la France, vive la nourriture pour chiens! (I wonder if any dogs were liberated from the Bastille?)

I would say use the first picture for a serious dramatic Pulitzer-Prize-bait book, the second one for a book of comic essays, and the third one for a horror novel.

I like #2 for the deep intelligent writer of a very serious book!

Dogs were the liberators. They still are! Viva la France!

You look quite hansome in the first photo so if you publish a serious tome i sugest the first. However if you publish a book about the essential you I say go with the second. Nothing says “Checkers” like the tongur thing!

Except that you’re out of focus, I prefer the third photo. Of course your book will be a work of art, a comic anthology, and a classic, and there you are posed with the greats: the Impressionists, Tyndale, Lewis Carroll, and Maurice Sendak! You are obviously a wide and deep reader, Checkers.

I especially like your listening, laughing face in the third photo. It shows a cardigan welsh corgi who really gets into the deep and witty conversations that learned book dogs have.

PS No dogs were liberated from the Bastille. The Bastille was a prison, and dogs have always had unimpeachable behaviour.
