oh, thanks Kim! I think this thinking around algorithms and the like is so different to how I imagine book stuff--so it's interesting!

It was fascinating to see her process.

Loved hearing the behind the scenes on this and love this account! I was helping out a friend a few weeks ago by driving her two elementary school daughters from school to their piano lesson. They asked, "Can you play Taylor Swift?" Of course I probably could have fired up Spotify and made it happen, but we were in a hurry. I'm old school and only listen to college radio. So I handed them my phone and said, "No, but check out this instagram account matching book covers to pics of Taylor Swift!" Needless to say, I instantly went from disappointing to she-ro. Cannot wait to see Nicole Haroutunian's post! I'm going to her book launch at P&T in NYC on Friday night. :)

One of the great things to happen to my book upon release was Amy Long's attention on the TSAB account. I will be forever grateful! (I got TWO photos!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV0_fUTPl2T/?img_index=1

YES! the collars, and my book cover is actually based on images captured by my mother in a home movie of a 14-year-old Dolly Parton who came to sing in my hometown. She had on a jumper with a Peter Pan collar.
