What Our Clients Are Saying.

“I needed an eye-catching cover for the adventure novel that was about to be published.  Dan's first attempt at a cover for "Paradox of a Wish" was a smashing success. His colorful, exciting and thoughtful design captured the narrative as well as the imagination of potential readers. The day before publication I sent out a promo that included the book's cover. Virtually everyone on the list responded with a variation of "wow, that cover is great! Can't wait to get the book.”
