New Author Look?Already 90 100+ responses to the first novel poll — thanks to everyone for participating and passing the link along. Today, I have a very different but equally vital survey. Vital to me, I mean. See, I’ve been doing the author jacket thing for a few years now, and it works pretty well. But lately I’ve been thinking it needs something more. Lots of authors have leather jackets. Sure, theirs don’t have 41 different pockets, but still … I need something to stand out from the authorly crowd. So I figured I’d add something more, a combination that would be uniquely Jim. What do you think? Yes? No? Needs more plumage?

Why do I suddenly have this running through my head? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ARG9BXUZSc&feature=related
It’s hard out there for an author…
Pimp hats, no. Pimp canes, yes!
Everybody wants me to get a cane. I’ll see what I can come up with. Think there are any canes topped with a jeweled carving of a goblin head?
Voila!

Sorry, I haven’t figured out how to make a hyperlink. It’s silver, not jeweled, but it’s the closest I could find.
Oh, wow. It’s even got a nice blue tinge!
Sword cane!
Winner!
I would suggest changing the color of the hat. Then you could join this group:
