These days, books are more and more being delivered digital over print. And no matter the channel, I believe your book must exude quality and attention to detail before it’s even opened. The front cover is the face of your book, and invariably, it’s the most effective marketing piece you have. It has to do pretty much the same job packaging has to do, attracting customers and providing them what they need to make a buying decision. Here are a few samples showing the range of my book design experiences.

Krelle’s Inferno

Author and podcast host, JDK Wyneken penned this counterfactual historical fiction novel set in a post-World War II world where the D-Day invasion of June 1944 failed, leaving a victorious Soviet Union in near-total control of Europe.

A Year of No More Secrets

Recovery Coach, Jay Parker, turned a years’ worth of experiences into stories about the ups and downs of doing recovery work. The people doing the work are real, the names have been changed and story elements changed or omitted to protect privacy. In the book, Mr. Parker shines a light on the pain, hurt, betrayal, grief, loss, shame, and gifts of recovery as he works to create a lasting community in which people in recovery stay sober and grow.

Project Manhattan and Project London graphic novel

Both of these books were part of the multiple product offering supporting the release of the full-length, feature-film, Project London.

Project Manhattan, a prequel novella written by Caleb Wheeler, recreates a familiar period in world history and weaves together a tale which explores the complicated nuances of good and evil and the complex nature of mankind and an alien race not so different from us.

The Project London graphic novel is gripping and visceral, inspired by the movie, but completely re-imagined as a graphic novel by Branson Anderson. The story has been intentionally realigned as a brand new reading experience.
