When I searched for a cover for my first book, Sweet Nothings I knew exactly what I wanted. A silhouette of a man and woman both wearing suits. Everything the publishing company sent didn't come close to what I was looking for so I searched endlessly on my own. Eventually I turned to my daughter who majored in web design and she came up with the perfect cover within a day.

I came up with the concept and even took some photos for the cover. I created the middle version on Photoshop to stay motivated, but ultimately paid to have the cover professionally designed. I went with 99 Designs.com and was very happy with the results. You can see the whole process here: https://99designs.com/book-cover-design/contests/book-cover-marines...

I always design my own covers. Initially I search the archives of the free Galleries and art foundations for a suitable picture then ask forpermission to use it. I have a blank of a book and then cut and paste it using Paint.

I am very pleased with the results and it has been reflectred in book sales.

I am proudest of my new book cover for An Orphan With A Destiny! eBook #29

The child on the cover is my best friend's granddaughter, taken by her mother just for this book.

No where on the web could I find a picture so powerful to match the content.

I have a great web-tech very reasonably priced who made the book cover and all my other book covers.
