Book Covers

A very large percentage of all books sold are sold on the basis of a great book cover. The cover you choose is the most important tool used to sell and market your book. It's often true that having an eye catching cover may determine where the book is located in the book store. The cover should not only be visually appealing, but also represent it's content. So whether you decide to self publish or go with a more traditional publisher, having the best cover possible to reflect the story you are telling is truly the most important part of the writing process.

My ultimate goal is to create book covers that are different and unique... designed just for you. I have experience with all types of books including romance, science fiction, real crime, self-help and more. I have created eye-catching CD and DVD covers as well as paperback book covers and e-book cover designs.

Knowing how to get just the right look and feel to fit the subject matter and distinct identity of each book is my passion.

No matter what your needs are, either an e-book cover or the entire flat, front, spine and back, having a dramatic cover could set your book apart from the thousands of others being written every day. They might not remember your name, but.....they'll remember your cover.

We as Independent authors and publishers know the importance of having somewhere that your readers can hang out and not only order your books, but find out what you're up to and what's going on. A cool website will do just that. If you enjoyed my site and would like me to design one for you, similar to what you see, let me know. (or something more your taste)

Blue Voda hosts my site.. and for a small yearly fee (around $100) they keep it up and running. You also make your own domain name and can have as many pages as you can handle. Click the link and take a look. I've been using them for four years now and I'm very happy.

If this is not what you had in mind please let me know what your thoughts are and maybe we can come up with something together.

.......This will be a set fee for all authors unless they want something really off-the-wall and crazy or something extremely difficult. That will be discussed on a per request basis. The time limit on the cover art from my end will be up to 7 days to complete the work. Once revisions are requested I will try to complete them within one or two days.

Please note: I am not an artist, nor do I claim to be. My work is not done free hand. I use several photo programs to manipulate and design a look for your cover that will be eye catching and hopefully original. I purchase the photos from art Cd's and royalty free sites on the internet as do most other book cover designers and authors. These sites are used by thousands of other people and sometimes the photos that are chosen could be a duplicate and used on another cover. I try very hard to not let this happen by incorporating more then one photo or art picture on your cover in order to make it as original as possible. If there is an issue, please bring it to my attention and I will take care of it as soon as possible. In today's cyberworld even photos and art images that are copyright protected can show up on any of the hundreds of image galleries and unless noted otherwise, these pictures are of public domain to the best of my knowledge.

I began my creative career as a poet and went on to win awards for the past four years for several of my poems. From there I went one step further and began writing a children's poetry book which was published and helped jump start my writing profession. I have two romance novels published and am working hard on my third. Inspired by creating my own book covers, I put together a portfolio and contacted several publishers and fellow authors with the hope of putting my imagination and artistic talent to good use.I am happy to say that I have recently won the Book Cover Design of March 2009 award for my cover of BRIGGEN. I am looking forward to a rewarding and satisfying career creating great stories and book covers.
