Eventually I'll hire a book cover designer and maybe my covers will get awesome but for now I make due with what I can do.
In searching photo sites i found a great picture for the cover of my next book, Betrayed by an Angel. The book is about a guardian angel who refuses to help a woman cross over when she dies. Instead he saves her life. Because he didn't follow the rules he's banished to earth as human. There's more to this book but when i found a pic of a man with angel wings, head bent down, looking sad I thought it would be a perfect for the cover. I went to purchase it and if i wanted it for a book cover it would have cost $1000.
Really? Holy crap! My first car didn't cost that much. (okay it was a crappy little Maverick-but I loved it)So I winged it and made a different kind of cover. It's kinda close to the cover for my first book which I don't think is too good an idea but until I come up with a better concept, it is what it is. First book: Soul Mates
Second book: Betrayed by an Angel

Been making my own covers as well. Fortunately, my wife, Lana, is a wonderful photographer.
I've seen Lana's work. Beautiful. You're covers are awesome!
