Cover done for Micki Street’s “Before the Daisies Grow: Capers of the Glamour Grans”  Book One

BLURB: Toss the bloomers, get a bikini wax and slip into a thong: life begins at sixty!

When sixty-something Dotty and her two friends accept an invitation to a holiday on a west African island, they have no idea their host Lucas is a drug lord using them as cover. Nor does Dotty have any idea that her new acquaintance, the delicious Major Ramsay Milestone, has an ulterior motive, too–he’s there on a covert mission to break up Lucas’s operation.

Covert or not, Dotty finds out and quickly gets her wires crossed. Even though the Major’s making her hormones do the tango, she’s convinced he’s the bad guy. But in her harebrained attempts to “rescue” herself and her friends she makes things worse for everyone but Lucas. When she learns the truth she not only has to clean up her mess, she has to make it up to–and hopefully make out with–the Major, or be left alone with her trusty vibrator.

Pre-made Cover: “Vintage Lace”

Yep, another pre-made cover added to the list. I came across this stock image when I was looking for something else for a commissioned cover, and KNEW I had to do something with it.  (If you’d like to see the original image click here) I think this one seems pretty versatile, genre wise. It’s dark enough for a thriller, yet could go as a romance too, or just a good old fashioned fiction. Not too sure on the font though, but that is easily changed.

You may have noticed a previous post for the cover of the upcoming book, “The Catcher of the Guy: A Girl’s Guide to Getting the Guy” written by Emma Wulff, but there is a second cover. The book may be released with either cover, or both covers. The final decision has not been made yet. So keep your eyes peeled!

BLURB: We’ve all met a Catcher. The girl men fall over themselves to get an inch closer to, the girl who’s enigmatic charm seems effortless, the girl with the intriguing ability to capture the attention of even the most elusive of men. Annoying, isn’t she? But jealousy aside … how does she do it?

Packed with real life examples, anecdotes and case studies, this book examines the inner workings of the Catcher, unravelling the mystery behind her magnetic allure, revealing what gives her the edge over game players and highlighting why men will always choose a self esteem queen Catcher over a woman who bends over backwards for him. From the secret of her charm offensive to why a Catcher never sits around analysing whether a guy is ‘into her’ or not, this dating holy grail reveals all, setting you on the path to relationship success; the path to finding the Catcher in you.

Cover: “Death by Cake” by Melanie Ray

by | Mar 5, 2012 | ,

I recently redid the cover of “Death by Cake” for author Melanie Ray.

She wanted something to show the dark humor plus a childish twist.

Hippie hero, death by sweets, never ending childhood for young and old, and an interesting hit on the newest resident? Welcome to Lost Secret girls and boys! This is a story of childhood…that’s not for children.

Shari Kari is in trouble. She just broke up with her boyfriend, but now he’s got a hit on her. Her supportive sister tells her to get out of Calibri City and into a small safe town: Lost Secret. Famous for being the one-stop drop town for the rich and famous’ children. No crime. A Town where even adults like children. She finds a friend in Timothy Varmen, and a semi-happy life, until her special condition gets out of control.

Ezekiel is the town’s Champion Paladin. While acting like a big child himself, he’s taken on the extra duty of trying to ‘save’ the new local resident, whether she likes it or not.

In this town, a man must learn to grow up…while a woman must learn to grow down.

Scandals. Inhibitions. Temptations.

This is a story of childhood…that’s not for children.

New, New, and….new!

If you hadn’t noticed, I did a lil revamping on the blog today. Trying a new theme, gave the header a lil boost to work with the new theme, and fixed up the “pages”.  I also added a new page, one just for the Pre-made Covers. I was afraid the post was going to get lost in the mix. I’ll probably be rearranging the images on the Photography and Digital Abstracts page in the next few days.

I already posted about the latest commissioned cover, but I also added a new $30 Pre-made cover. Simple, yet intriguing.
