Question: when you get a book cover assignment/job, do they ask you to read the book to get an idea of what you will out I. The cover? Perhaps you do that in your own? I have just always wondered about this.
They don't ask to read the book, so it's up to the artist ☺️ usually it's hard to fit the reading time into the deadline anyway. But I recently started reading books for which I create covers. I buy them online or ask the client if they can share the e-book copy.
The book covers are what drew me into the books and I’ve read/have all - but I didn’t know about the Demon’s Queen! I always check my local bookstores (new/thrift) for any new books of this series, and am now going to see if I can get it off her website!
I don't normally read romance, I'm more of a SFF reader who likes romance as the B plot instead of the main course, but these would tempt me to at least look at the blurb or flap.
I think the first one is the most viral at the moment. I remember doing some sketches with the dragon guy while painting it, trying to come up with the design.
I was literally just showing my partner your covers the other day and telling them how they minded me of romance covers in the 80s/90s. They are truly beautiful 😍

Should have asked Katee if there could be like, one book that was "The Nice Ladies Lovely Day Where Nothing Imprisoned Her."
