How did anyone think these pictures were good enough to be used as a promotional tool? Also, for all the money LKH makes off those books, one would think she could hire a decent photographer to take these shots. This looks like cosplay. Poorly done cosplay at that.

Now, I decided a long time ago I was finished with LKH… her descent into self-indulgnt insanity ruined one of my favorite series. As far as I’m concerned, Anita’s plane went down as she was heading home in OB… I can still think fondly of the series.

Still, I find myself rabidly curious to watch LKH make her life one continuous train wreck after another. And these photos… god. The woman needs help.

O……..M……..G…

*moment of silence* followed by hysterical laughter! Seriously, I’m literally giggling as I type this!

First off I can never read an AB book again, as Anita and her harem will forever look like the group shot. Such a shame (not)

Secondly, I’m photographer and I swear to god I’ve seen 13 year old emo kids do a better job on their myspace pics with photoshop then the tack-o-rama on display above!

Thirdly are they actual humans in the photos, the one at the back looks like a dwarf and/or hobbit.

It really goes to show the sad state of affairs her promo team is having if this is the best promo material they can come up with!!

Ummm…wow….

The first one is crying out for the addition of toe tags, while nothing short of a complete blackout would help the second.
Mind you, having seen the “quality” of the merchandise offered on her website, I’m not the slightest bit surprised by the tackiness of these pics.

A)does she realy need a body guard?

B)sometimes a “respectful distance” between author and audience should go both ways. Let’s preserve the mystery a little, huh?

C)there is a time and a place for amateur and for professional – this is one of them.

D)*sigh* now I know how a mother feels when a child falls down and goes boom (its the only way they’ll learn)

E)no wonder richard is such a annoying character (mary sue’s revenge)

F)Ive read better sex scenes in fanfiction (seriously!)

Finally – gotta love those weirdos, without them there’d be no nuts in the healthy, fruity muesli (granola for yanks) that is life.

““Her ex-husband’s name was Gary, not Richard. And if I were’nt already convinced woman was nuts these would do it! Thanks for the laugh!�?”

“Her ex-husband’s name is Gary, but LKH herself has stated that Richard is based on Gary, not named after him.”

In her blog LKH often refers to one of their friends whose name is Richard, so the mistake is quite understandable – But the fourth guy in the picture is not said Richard but their bodyguard Charles aka Gru, who is now a regular part of the LKH entourage.
In reference to Ma Petite: In this case I think it refers to the fact, that Laurell’s business is called Ma Petite Enterprise, which sort of explains the use of plural in the text.

Ummm…

Well, on one level, I’m relieved to know Darla isn’t her writing as a fake person defending herself. Err.

On another level…

Sweet. Suffering. Cupcakes.

Somebody slip those people a quad of mickeys before they do something baaaaaaaad for Geraldo and O’Reilly to flip out over for about 6 weeks.

Make it stooop! MAKE IT STOOOOP!

Her ex-husband’s name is Gary, but LKH herself has stated that Richard is based on Gary, not named after him.

If you’re going to pose in a bed like that, write your Mary Sue as a woman who every single man in your endless series of porn wants to sleep with, overshare about how sexual you are and how much you just love sex and claim to have done every sexual thing your character’s done, you’re putting that out there and I think you can expect some harsh comments about your looks. Frankly, it just highlights the difference between her image of herself and the reality. She’s not someone like Jessica Simpson, who can use her body or sexy image to boost her career, and she’s not in that type of business, so she shouldn’t be trying. She’s an author. It shouldn’t be about that.
As far as where her books are shelved – as a horror fan, it’s always pissed me off that my local stores shelve her stuff in horror. I always thought they should be in romance. I guess they’re not very romantic, but they are nothing but (badly-written) sex. There’s nothing to put them in the horror category except the supernatural elements. They’re supernatural erotica, I guess.
