Laurel Anne Hill (Author of Heroes Arise): Kyle Cassidy Took an Amazing Photo at Anticipation

At Anticipation earlier this month, Kyle Cassidy (Neil Gaiman's photographer) took an amazing photo of me and my three-headed dragon puppet.  I am so unphotogenic and he nailed the shot with only one try.  Please go to Flickr and comment.  If you enjoy the photo, feel free to note the picture as a favorite in Kyle Cassidy's World Con Fan Photo collection.

By the way, I’m still looking for a name for my dragon puppet.  Respond here (Vox members) or Email your suggestions to laurel@laurelannehill.com.  If I choose the name you suggest, I’ll send you a free copy of my book “Heroes Arise.”

Warm wishes,
