Latest Covers for September

Here are my latest covers.

Stand and Deliver by Scarlet Blackwell is a gay historical. I had a bit of fun trying to find the right guy's to put together but I think it came out quite well.

Seduced by Moonlight by Lexie Davis is a the first book in a contemporary paranormal werewolf series - Exotic Wolves. It's not often that I actually find out the names of the models that I use on my covers. But I am very pleased to introduce you to the very sexy Jimmy Thomas and modelling partner (sorry .. didn't find out her name LOL!). Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for more Jimmy!!

Finding Love by Simone Anderson, another gay contemporary novel. Love the dramatic lighting on those bods! AVAILABLE NOW!!!

Imperial Topaz by Kim Dare is book 2 of the Collared series. This is quite a striking cover and worked really well towards this novel. AVAILABLE NOW!!!

Last but not least is Bastards and Pretty Boys by K.Z. Snow which is another of the popular gay contemporary novels. You'll see a different E-Publisher this time - Liquid Silver Books! AVAILABLE NOW!!!

Turquoise & Leather

COMING SOON TO TOTAL-E-BOUND!!!

Turquoise and Leather is the first book of the Collared Series by Kim Dare. This is a gay/BDSM novella.

I started off by trying to find a guy in leather looking pants. This image fit the bill nicely and it had a nice dark quality to it which appealed to me. The Author requested that the model be wearing a turquoise collar as mentioned in the book.

It was simple enough to create the collar. I tracked down a rough chunk of turquoise and simply popped it over the leather looking cord. I think this guy may have been wearing a necklace so I just shortened it and then painted over the chain to give it a leather look.

I usually up the contrast on all my images which can add a more dramatic effect.

As you can see I used three different fonts. Two is always preferrable but the 'AND' looked better in a lower case, which the Trajan Pro didn't allow. I also added a turquoise glow around the fonts to tie in with the title.
