We want the details about yours.

Did you design the cover? Nope.

Did your publisher design the cover? Nope.

Did you get to give any input about the cover design? Please read the next question.

Is there an interesting story behind the cover design? If so, please share the details.

*** The cover of Katana Duet: Samurai's Forbidden Love was created by a friend who is skilled in CG and is also an enthusiast for the m/m genre.
She read the novella and came up with a very eye catching interpretation.

Who is the cover artist? Kikue Mugen, who is also an author. Her gallery can be found at http://www.samurai-on-samurai.com. Age verification is necessary to view her work.

Are you happy with the cover? Yes, and I hope romance readers who are more used to seeing live models on the cover give the book a chance.

If not, what would you change and why? Kikue should've just left out the clothes. I'm just kidding.

Tell us what you think is the best part of the cover. The dark blues and texture are outstanding. Blue happens to also be my favorite color.

Is there anything else about your cover that we need to know? Feel free to share.

Rough Justice by Suzanne Perazzini

Did you design the cover?

Yes, I designed the cover. I actually designed 5 different covers for this book. I submitted them to Red Rose Publishing, who let me know which they preferred and I agreed with them.

Is there an interesting story behind the cover design? If so, please share the details.

I took the photo of the elephants myself when I was on holiday in Botswana. My husband, son and I spent a wonderful month in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia, where my uncle has a fishing lodge on the Zambezi River.

Are you happy with the cover?

I am very happy with the cover of course since I designed it myself. LOL.

Tell us what you think is the best part of the cover?

I love the hazy feel to the elephants which I have superimposed onto a photo of the Chobe River at sunset, which I took on the same day that I took the photo of the elephants.

Is there anything else about the cover that we need to know?

I loved Africa so much that I felt impelled to write a story based there and in particular to use the sad and misguided poaching of elephants as the backdrop to the adventure my heroine goes on.
