My Design Work and My Talented Sis-In-Law

I was a busy woman the last couple of weeks. I've been working on a project that I've been excited to share with all of you!

If you don't know it already, my sister-in-law Deborah is a writer. And I'm her book designer and one of her editors. She published her first book, The Gifted, in March 2011. At the end of this month, she is publishing her sequel, The Betrayed. So without further ado, here are both book covers (and backs):







Two and a half years ago, Deborah entered The Gifted into the Amazon writing competition and made it as a finalist. She made it to the top 100 books! So you know it's good. And honestly, her sequel would have won if she had entered it into the contest this last year (but I'm pretty sure they don't accept sequels). I'm proud of her. Writing a novel is on my bucket list, but she has already written and published two!

I recommend both books to anyone who is interested in YA Fantasy. I really liked the sequel especially (which comes out in less than 2 weeks so you have time to read the first one before it does!).

To order books or to at least check out Deborah's author website, click here.

This is the kind of design I love doing. I wish that I could say I made the brushes used on the book cover, but I didn't. It's a goal of mine to learn how. But, I love designing and I enjoy editing so these two books were the projects for me! And now after who knows how many hours, I will have TWO books on my bookshelf that I have been a part of. Thank you Deborah for giving me the opportunity and for always telling me that I'm awesome. :)
