Cover Story

I'm currently trying to come up with a new cover for my novella, The Waterdance, which I'll be re-releasing in August for Nook & Kindle, and it is one tough job! Personally, I think cover art is very important and has a big job to do. It has to be visually interesting and reveal some insight into the story while conveying the tone of book. So, I take this stuff really seriously.

When it came time to design the new cover for my A Taste of Italy re-release, I knew exactly what I wanted. I sent some photos to my graphic artist and gave her a description of the scene I wanted to portray on the cover. And with a little design magic, we came up with a stunning cover that I absolutely adore. See Before and After pics below:

But now I'm stumped! I need some new inspiration. So, I foresee myself perusing book covers non-stop for the next few weeks until I find something that sparks my imagination. But that's okay because I love looking at book covers! How about you? Are you a sucker for a great book cover like me? What are some of your faves?

Ciao!
