Book Cover: Design & Illustration is one of my specialties. I create images that capture the story of the book, Customer satisfaction depends on closely working with the writer and have a small group of return customers.
This first group is by an author in Tucson name RL Clayton- check out his website-I’ve created several sites for him over the years.
Meeting the. author for the first time in 2021 in Tucson was a great experience. We both attended a book fair and am planning on attending a festival in March next year.

The last four images are for a poet. We worked together from her photos as well as mine, she always had a great vision of what she wanted for her covers.
It is all about building a relationship with an author. The ease in which I am able to create the vision the author expects grows with the relationship.
My latest two book are a book about mermaids and a book about a pig that travels to schools inspiring kids to read. It was a wonderful experience but a little daunting creating two fully illustrated children’s books at the same time.
