Smashwords Interview

How do you approach cover design?
Tried to capture a flavor of what the book contains. Don't like to use "off the shelf" designs but rather spend time to create something that really captures the essence of the story.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
The Peasant King, because it was my first book, how could I not think this is a favorite?
The Changing Stone, because it is my current book, it has to be my current favorite!
Ivanhoe, a classic story, hard to find books like this anymore.
Henry V, inspiring!
The Princess Bride, my kind of fun.
