List of Cover Artist: A Little Free Research for You!
Ok. So sometimes I'm going to just do a little research for you so that it saves you the time. I've been scouring the web and asking for recommendations on Cover Artist. People still DO judge books and ebooks by the cover. They will argue just how much a cover influences a buying decision, but most readers still admit that it does influence it somewhat.
I will more than likely continue to edit this post as I find additions. Hopefully, this will help you connect with some great talent to help you package your works of art in a manner that will attract lots of sales.

Flash Mob for Book Promotion...Interesting Marketing Concept
Hi everyone. I wanted to share a really neat idea with all of you. If you're published it could be a great way to help get the word out about your book in an interesting way.
Check out https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Amrita-Publishing/184725818262525?sk=app_129982580378550 Amrita Publishing... They describe their concept as a FLASH MOB for book promotion where other authors swoop in and help promote a featured author, then in return eventually, everyone gets a turn. Neat concept! Their first Featured Artist is today and this all happens at 3 pm est.
Please Visit the Amrita Publishing FB page, and their Featured Artist page today around that time and help spread the love for Daniel L Carter. Coincidentally, Daniel was one of the first Authors who featured an interview with me on his blog when my book ISLAND OF SECRETS came out last November. He definitely helps other authors and he deserves some extra attention.
