I’m very proud to reveal
another cover recently designed by my most talented cover artist Steven Novak.

I love the way he sh-mushed
all three angel books together under one fantastic cover and made it look brilliant.

Look – we all know how important
covers are for getting sales. Therefore, it stands to reason we need to have a
good artist to do our work. Someone you trust and who has a great sense of
style. When I first started working with Steven, I would give him my ideas in
detail and he’d try his best to fulfill the images I had running through my imagination. Funny thing was that
they were never quite right – never perfect.

Not surprising if one knew what the inside of my head was like!! 🙁
Frustration would set in
and we’d compromise. Eventually, I realized that the more I backed off, the
better his covers were. He needed very little guidance. Other than the gist of
the story and whether I wanted a person on the cover, or blossoms and a crib LOL, he would
create the perfect illustration.

Now I leave a lot of the
designing to him and wait with bated breath to see what he’ll come up with. And
trust me; I never have a long wait either. He’s that quick. I feel fortunate
because I know a lot of other authors who complain about the length of time
they have to wait for their work to be done and I can’t help but smirk with satisfaction.
And did I mention how reasonable
his prices were?
his prices were?

I second everything you've said about Steven Novak. He is great to work with, reasonable and very creative. He has done some stunning covers for me.
Beautiful cover! Steven did an excellent job!
I agree. I love my cover artist, Su at Earthy Charms, and now send such little informtion that she has to send me back questions, like, "Is he a cowboy?"
Once you find a gem like we have, just hang on to them. Having to stsrt with someone new now would be such a pain!!:-)
