Yes, I just want a more fanciful one for my fiction stories. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks, Patrice. You’re correct — your photo in a vintage dress wouldn’t work for your nonfiction, but your nonfiction photo would work for your historical fiction. You can definitely use two different photos, but I’m not sure why you’d want to.

I write both fiction (historical) and also nonfiction/how-to books. I plan on wearing a vintage dress for my fiction book author photo, but don’t think it would be a fit for the back of my nonfiction (Kickstarter) books.

Your article said to use the same photo. Would that rule still apply in this case?

Being sued for copyright infringement or having to pay to use your own picture stinks.
