I've been extremely lucky in my writing career.


Two publishers. Two fabulous graphic artists. While I've always had input on covers, my "eye" usually defers to the professionals. I believe, on MM&M, I suggested a margaritas glass and Ryan ran with it! With Cynthia's Attic, the original concept with the clock showing, subtly, in the background, captured the "going back in time" storyline, perfectly.

Margaritas, Mayhem & Murder cover was designed by Ryan Thomas Doan for Imajin Books. The first time I saw it, I gasped. He sliced through the theme of the story with a creative knife, oh, and the bee blew me away. 

Why, you ask? Read the book! 😊

My children's series, Cynthia's Attic - Echelon Press - was blessed to have Nathalie Moore creating the covers. What a beautiful eye she had for color and design! I love all five covers.

What is your opinion of covers? Are you attracted to the cover,  first? Do you pull a catchy cover off the shelf, then read the title? I happen to think they matter in this world of  millions of authors and stories vying for millions of readers.
