Hi guys smile

Love your website and use it every day! I am just wondering if it would be possible to change the photo for the "authors and their works" topic. The current picture shows a rather romantic-looking couple at a garden table and seems to have nothing to do with the rather lonely and solitary experience of writing. As a writer myself who often feels the loneliness (and also the joy) of working alone, I was wondering whether the photo could be changed to something a bit more relatable for those of us who don't have the idyllic situation of a loving partner bending over our shoulder as we slog away at the manuscript.

Thanks for considering my request - I do understand if you can't or don't want to change it, but just thought I would bring it up in case something could be done.

Keep up the great work guys smile

Cheers,
Baby_Bebe (Ruby)

If this was changed, it seems to have reverted back to the previous photo.

In any case, I second the request. Something like this, perhaps: https://emilierichards.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Writer-Sleeping-on-Laptop.jpeg

Is there any license information for that image?

Changing the existing picture for the proposed one would definitely NOT be an improvement IMO.
If the image of "a rather romantic-looking couple at a garden table" is in any way troubling, why interpret it in that way? Try this way instead:
He has just received an e-mail confirming the million-dollar advance for his next creation is now in his bank account. She is reading it over his shoulder and smiling because she and her secret lover are going to murder him that night and run off together with the money. I'm sure that's better :-)
