I love designing. I’ve actually worked as a freelance designer for several years so it’s been really therapeutic for me to get into my books and get my mind into the right headspace by doing my own covers. For those interested in seeing how it all came together, I thought I’d show you a little before and after.
These are the three main photos I used on the Kissed by Fire cover. Then thanks to the power of photoshop I was able to add color and some added effects for a more fantasy feel.
What do you think?

Hey Danielle — I’d be pretty educational for those of us who aspire to do our own covers to see how you went about doing it — maybe a little tutorial? I know you have your workshop you do, but even just a quickie would be beneficial!
Very nice! I like how you made the cover from the photos
Wow you integrated all three so well it’s an awesome Cover.
I liked the cover a lot. Especially the way you merged the colors. Very nice!
Looks great can’t wait to read

It’s hard to do quickies because I don’t know how to do simple lol
This cover, in particular, took several hours spread over several weeks since I kept coming back and tweaking
