I recently licensed the use of some cowgirl stock photography for the cover of a book called Bridge to My Heart. It is the latest western romance novel by author Carolyn Twede Frank. 

The author lives in Kaysvile, Utah with her husband and a teenage daughter. Four of her other children have already fled the nest. When she’s not writing, she loves to read, garden, sew, and play with her grandson.

It’s neat to see my photograph on book covers, and especially when the author notes that my cowgirl photography looks so real compared to other photographers who use models instead of the real deal. I reminded her that the reason my cowgirl photos look real is because the people in the photos are real.
