You're a fantastic cover artist and I think the cover you designed for me for White Wedding from Decadent Publishing is one of my favorites. I hope you can design more of my covers.<br /><br />LaVerne/Ursulaursula sinclairhttp:/ursulasinclair.webs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196814472111690551.post-79744120048315000162010-10-29T22:38:12.389-07:002010-10-29T22:38:12.389-07:00Dara, I must say, that to your list of credits we ...Dara, I must say, that to your list of credits we have to add MINDREADER! You really nailed the cover of Trinity for me and have sent many a woman swooning with your expert ways of photo manipulation. Keep up the awesome work. Lordy, but I can't wait to see what you'll do with the next book in this series... :)Deenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848389162865706483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196814472111690551.post-76230380687642392052010-10-29T09:44:41.332-07:002010-10-29T09:44:41.332-07:00Thanks Dara.

(And don't get me started on Poser-generated covers, ugh.) But many so-called designers don't know the first thing about "design."<br /><br />Your covers are great.
