How do you approach cover design?
With trepidation. I am not an artist but, besides the writing, the cover is the most important aspect for getting people interested in your book. I try to find a picture that is both beautiful and indicative of what the book is about.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
"Shanna" Kathleen E. Woodiwiss -Sweeps you into another time, and Roark is the ultimate Hero.
"Beast Behaving Badly," Shelly Laurenston -Hillarious and sexy. (anything from her I will read)
"Naked in Death" J.D. Robb-Incredible detail, world building and fantastic characters. The Ultimate bad boy gone good, and the love between them.
"Magic Bites" Ilona Andrews -Wow, can she write action. Love her characters, her world building, all of it. I wait breathless for her next installment to see what Kate and Curran are up to.
"The Gamble" Or really anything from Kristen Ashley. She started out self-publishing so she is an inspiration. Her characters are unique, sexy, real, and always manage to make me cry.
