For those of you who don't know, I've designed the covers for all my own books. I've been doing graphic design for about ten years now, and when it came time to do the cover for my debut novel, Blue Sky Days, I decided I wanted to do the cover myself. I enjoyed doing it so much and got such a great response, that I kept doing my own covers.
When my friend Kymber approached me and asked if I'd design the cover for her debut novel, I said yes. She was one of the first friends I made online (it was actually in a graphic design group, about 8 years ago), and I was so excited that she had decided to publish her first novel, Secrets in the Blood. The book is a mish-mash of genres: romance, thriller, mystery. I'm also beta reading for her and I can tell you this is one you'll want to read, no matter what your genre preference.
I'm very pleased with the results of the cover, and Kymber is too. We've decided to do the big reveal on Monday July 8th, and we'd like your help. If you want to be part of the reveal, please leave your name and email address (example: irishstar_83(at)hotmail(dot)com) below and we'll send out the cover, synopsis, and prologue the weekend before the reveal. If you don't have a blog or you already have a post scheduled for the 8th but you'd still like to help out by posting on Facebook and/or Twitter (or even posting the cover on your blog later in the week), we'd appreciate any help!
I know some people don't like participating in cover reveals because they're not sure of the quality of the cover (let's face it, some covers, especially indie covers are horrible), so here's an example of my work to maybe help you decide:
Thanks in advance for your support! If you know of anyone else who might be interested in participating in the reveal, please send them my way. ;-)

I'm in too. I love cover reveals, and love your covers. I didn't realize you did them yourself, I think I knew, but didn't *know*.
