In the last few weeks, I’ve had several requests for advice or tutorials on how to create print covers for this or that printer. It must be that time of year or something because I’m suddenly so popular, and everyone who wants to create print covers is coming out of the woodwork. Well, I’m here to state now and for always: Print graphic design done right will always be more complicated than you first think. It’s not something I can…
I nearly always favor the print covers over the e-book covers, and this is no exception. I especially like the print covers below because they’re in a different genre (mystery!) than the one in which I usually work (erotic romance), and if I could get more such work anywhere, I’d have boundless glee. I love the income that romance provides, but the conventions are so limiting. I’d love to get my hands on a decent science fiction or fantasy cover….
My favorites in this bunch are My Valentine and Dangerous Ground. Not shown are a couple of ads that I was too lazy to post. I really need to redesign my professional site, so to add to my motivation, I may no longer post my work here. Share this post:

I finally received my first royalty check from Zumaya Publications this week, so now I breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to a time I may get to add them to my little author bio on the right side of this blog. People often query me about work and ask me if I take on clients outside of my two publishers. The answer is that I do. That’s why I have the words “freelance artist and graphic designer”…
