Smashwords Interview

How do you approach cover design?
Since my novels are a murder mystery series, I try to portray something that relates to the overall premise of the book, as well as keeps a trendy, modern look that matches the series and the main character, Natalie North. I want an eye catching, contemporary cover that stands out.
What do you read for pleasure?
Although I find nonfiction books helpful and interesting, if I'm reading for pleasure I prefer a good fiction book. I enjoy crime and murder mysteries, but I also like a book that has good humor woven throughout the story. Pure entertaining, fun stories.
