Behold:
A brand new set of AWKWARD AUTHOR PHOTOS to gaze upon.
Folks entered. A whopping 73 of you, actually.
And holy shit, am I ever laughing.
Anyway — here’s how this works:
You click that link.
You look at the glorious buffet of authorial silliness.
You choose the one photo you believe should win the title of MOST AWKWARD AUTHOR PHOTO.
You take the number of that photo and you pop it into the comments below.
Please make the number of your choice clear. Begin with the number. If you have comments to add, add them after the number, and don’t use any other numbers (“Well, I like 16 but 42 is funny and 37 is awkward but maybe I’ll choose 71”) because I won’t know which one you’re voting for.
Translation: make this easy on me.
You get one vote.
I’ll tally the votes in one week (Wed, July 1st!) and we will have our winners.
DO YOUR CIVIC TERRIBLEMINDS DUTY. (Doody?)
And vote.

47, 48 but…. 17. My son reads the Beano on the loo and it reminds me of him. Er hem… And me because lord knows with small kids you only get the chance to read on the loo.

55 – Looks less staged to be awkward, but a serious photo gone awry.

59. The awkward pose is great. And also, I think hes wearing a bald cap?! If so, A+ for effort. If not… I’m so sorry.

55: She looks like she’s been hanging onto a personal flotation device in a choppy sea for way too long. Bonus for awesome dog.

20. I have a soft heart for Dark Lords/Ladies, and the whole “I’m not evil guys, I SWEAR! You can trust me!” Evil Queen of Evil steeple-hands and grimace-smile just works for me.
