Back when I had my first meeting about Living in Northampton and Amherst, the publisher told me she wanted to re-design the cover with some new photos. I told her I have a BA in photojournalism and she agreed to take a look at any pictures I'd like to submit.

Flash-forward three months. I sent her nine pictures last night, and today received this response: “THANK YOU SO MUCH, I love the photos, I will use several of them.”

So, it'll be “written, researched, and cover photos by” Motormouth. Woo-HOO! And, if I make my deadline of early November, it'll be available for you (yes, you) to purchase for all of your holiday gift-giving needs.
