That's the photographer, Alaina, and she is pretty thin, though not usually headless :).
Although now that I think about it, she does have alot of photos with various missing body parts.
There's probably some sort of feminist geared essay to be written about that. Male gaze, perception of the female body on book covers by women, in art, etc.
At least on the back of the book, I DO have a head and am very much not thin...so hopefully it evens out...

it's so pretty! the cover is really eye-catching (though the girl is a bit thin and headless)

Oh I love the cover, BTW I owe you a copy of my book. Email me at aleahsato AT hotmail w/ the address where it should be sent.
Congrats on the pub!
