I guess that would depend on the type of historical fiction. Ms. Cartland wrote fluffy, fairy tale romances (at least that is what I think they were, I believe I only ever read one). So she was obviously trying to look like an older version of one of her heroines, and succeeded pretty well, I think. In the second photo, that is. The first photo, where she's older, is awful, just awful. There's definitely something to be said for aging gracefully!!!!

Hee hee. That's what I was thinking. Personally, I try to go for the standing-next-to-serious-artifact look, but then my books are set in the ancient world. Don't know what I'll do for MADAME TUSSAUD. Maybe put my head in a guillotine...So - what would fit the persona of a historical fiction writer *lol*

Actually, it's known in advertising circles that the market audience responds particularly well to images of women with dogs and men with cats-- don't know why--
Love it - looks as if Costain is making some serious, scholarly point to which his cat is listening with solemn attentionMy personal favorite is of Thomas Costain and his dining companion

Or have your picture taken looking at a wax image of yourself.

See if the museum will let you hold up the wax head of Marie Antoinette! That pose would be in its own category!
