george gave Picture Approval so we can now show you the Fruits of our collaboration this morning here in Hollywood (adjacent).

and don’t forget to visit George’s boutique page on Amazon (also available at other good book-sellers, of course, as they used to say on the BBC)

we adore George’s books.
so naughty.
and so Terribly Clever.
btw (as the young people say) – we were Present at the Cover Shoot for the one-in-the-middle – just in case you’d like an Eyewitness Account.
it was a delicious occasion, darlings.
as was the Portrait Shoot this morning (lovely strawberries, elegant tea – and a most gracious model).
About teamgloria
I used to make my living from writing. And then it all stopped and so I went and did something else, part of which entailed a whole new look from Brooks Brothers (it wasn’t really me, but it was necessary). But a decade later I started to write again (during nights and weekends and frustrated lunch-times and long haul business travel) and one of the things I wrote (or came to me – as I do believe in the whole Muse concept) was a character called Gloria.
Gloria was a trainee angel and sat “up there” waiting for her first assignment. To occupy the hours she should have been studying humans and their foibles, she spent her time enjoying the new celestial movies-on-demand channel and became obsessed by Doris Day. So you can imagine the drama that unfolded when she came to Earth. Quite a shock to the system. But Gloria was determined to see Manhattan through the eyes of a vintage Doris Day movie and something magical started to happen – to me too.
Because I started to do the same thing and life became easier (and then I got Tobias the tumor which changed the trajectory, for now).
There are a lot of glorious people, places & things that help me get through my day – they make my life great – and so I call them “team gloria” (although they don’t usually know that). So I thought I’d start documenting them, and looking out for new people, places & things on a daily basis, and sharing them with you (whomever you are – do say hello. Oh, and tell me who your team gloria is :-)

heather – thank you ever so much for your kind words about the pictures – we always get Very Nervous until we get picture approval – it’s a delicate business, doing portraits….
*wavingtoFrance*!
You might have noticed that there are never people in my photos. I am too chicken! I don’t know how you do it…
But if we had your two golden haired beauteous boys we wouldn’t do pictures of people either ;)
lovely, beautiful photos and a great post!
nice to meet you, mr. snyder!!
sending love from berlin*

Super pics. George gets handsomer and handsomer by the month and you’ve brought that ou!. Beautiful pictures.
Needless to say, there are no pictures of the post-incinerated kitchen! But it was such fun, such fun. Glorious, is the word I would use. And a big deal too! i felt honored to be Teamgloria’s subject. XXXXXXx

I’m so glad George survived the garlic, olive oil and lemon juice inferno.
We All Are.
