Here's what my homemade book cover looked like before the book cover makeover:

AFTER

The book cover artist who created my NEW book cover is Jeanine Henning. Look her up on Twitter at @JenVinci  I'm hoping to hire her again for another book I have in the works. 

I found a book cover designer!

It didn't take long. I found a terrific book cover designer named Jeanine Henning!  I'll post an update later along with the new cover once it's completed.  There are many great book cover artists out there.  In one of my future posts, I'd love to post a list of top book cover artists for e-books.  Jeanine's work is outstanding.  You can check out her work at http://jhillustration.wordpress.com/
I'm so excited about changing my cover!

Could this be the worst book cover art ever?

UPDATE:  I found a book cover designer!  I'm working with her on planning the new book cover, so when she's finished, I'll post the new book cover design.  I'm so excited about getting a new book cover!

Recently, I've been in search of an affordable but great book cover artist.  Does anyone reading this blog know of a great graphic designer who's affordable?  Please let me know if you do.
Here's what my homemade cover art looks like right now.  I used a photo I took of a rose garden in Raleigh, NC.

Could Death by Clogging possibly be the most hideous e-book cover art ever?  LOL  I think so.
