Two things make my fingers itch to pick up a book–a great title that raises an intriguing question and a fabulous cover that appeals to my reading tastes and raises further questions. Only then do I read the back cover blurb. If it promises to deliver hours of reading enjoyment, I head for the nearest cash register. Since I know I’m not the only one who judges–at least initially–a book by its cover, it's important that my book covers catch a reader’s eye and faithfully represent the story. And my amazingly talented and patient graphic artist always comes through. What follows are the major steps taken to create these beautiful covers. For commentary on each step, CLICK the individual picture. Enjoy!
