**Acclaim for the Design Books by Susanna Ivy**

"I've known Susanna Ivy for four years now--and she's easily one of the most talented designers I've ever met. She has done TWENTY covers for me, and each one is original and painstakingly crafted. Susanna Ivy is a true artist."
--J.R. Rain, #1 bestselling author of Moon Dance

"Susanna brings a powerful uniqueness to her covers that is much more than eye-catching art. I've had several readers tell me that the covers for both "Plague of Coins" and "Reign of Coins" held their attention to where they felt drawn in by the images. You can't ask for a better accomplishment than that!" --Aiden James, bestselling author

"This Kindle book is a cool showcase of selected Kindle ebook covers designed by the talented Susanna Ivy. Further, her covers help sell books -- a number of these covers resulted in bestselling books and viewing them is a good study for what works in Kindle book design. With only a front cover for Kindle books, the design of a cover has to have maximum impact at thumbnail size, as well as on a small rectangle on the Amazon buy-it page. My publisher had her design on one of my covers and it is a good-selling book. It is not enough to write a great book. It has to be wrapped in a beautiful package. Susanna Ivy has a keen artist's eye and an intuition for design that takes the high concept of a novel and delivers the author's words as a visual theme in the marketplace. Also an award-winning photographer, Ms. Ivy has a sense of light, color, and composition that translates from her photo savvy into her graphic design for book covers. This is a display of her talent as a book designer that shows an understanding of what makes novels intriguing to readers in the marketplace and beyond. Five stars."
