Memory Lane (and a warning)

This photo (uncaptioned) popped up on facebook today as a memory from 12 years ago. A publicity shot for some poetry event or other. I remember the photo session better than what it was for, as a dear friend did the posing and snapping, and made it lots of fun. The book is my Secret Leopard, which was published nine years before that – still available, but only as an ebook now. (Please ignore the scammer who offers the paperback on Amazon at an inordinate price. He or she almost certainly has no actual copies, and in any case I, the author, will never see any of that money if anyone ever does pay it.)
