Back Cover Author Photo
The photo of me on the back cover of my book is pretty small, about the size of a postage stamp. One of my wife's friends said I must be pretty ugly for them to have needed to use such a small picture! Well, you can judge for yourself. The picture here is the same size as it appears on the back cover. Click on if for a blow-up. The picture was taken in front of the Capitol during a February 1996 snowstorm, photo by Jeff Hecker.
