New Cover Reveal for Libera Me

After editing the novel, and listening to the author's fans, Compass Press decided to remake the cover for Christine Fonseca's Libera Me (the second full-length novel in her Requiem series) to keep it more in line with the others in the series, and to better fit the novel. And I'm glad they did because it gave me the chance to design this beauty:

Congratulations Christine! Designing this one was a pleasure.

New Feature~Covers For Sale

You may have noticed a new tab in the list above; For Sale. While speaking to a friend regarding his cover he told me that he had absolutely no idea what to do for a cover but that if he saw what he wanted he would know immediately. I asked him to tell me a bit about his book, which he did, then I ran ideas by him. Still, no luck. On a whim, I designed something for fun in my spare time that I felt might work for him. He loved it!

In helping him I learned that some authors just need to see a picture that truly speaks to them before they know exactly what they want. And in speaking to other cover designers, I found out that many of them design what they call ready-made covers that authors can purchase as is or with small changes. Instantly I fell in love with this idea, because I'm all about inspiring authors.

Under my For Sale tab you'll find covers that I have designed which are original and unique (NOT simply an unaltered stock photo) and are available at a discounted price. They are often two images which have been combined, altered, had the colors changed, special affects added, etc. Included in the price shown are small alterations to help personalize them even further (such as color alterations, special affects, etc.) to suite you and your novel.

Here is the cover Christine is hailing as my best yet (gotta love that girl):

You know, she might be right. I have to admit, it is pretty amazing. But I can't take all the credit. Christine's input was essential in the creation. Now I have to take off my mask and reveal a secret. Some of you know this secret, but not all do. My secret: I am Heather McCorkle, author, cover designer, Publisher and Editing Director of Compass Press. To read the rest of the secrets from the participants in the tour, and to enter to win some outstanding prizes, be sure to check out Christine's blog.
