The book cover is one of the most important aspects of marketing a book. It creates the first impression for potential readers and plays a major role in the book's success. After all, the cover art is what gives an author's manuscript "form." It takes the words, story, and characters of a novel and brings it to life visually. Since cover art is instrumental in the success of a book, it is crucial to choose the right cover artist. When it comes to The Blood Prophecy series, author Barb Jones knows that she hit the jackpot. 

Barb has been working with Steven since the birth of The Blood Prophecy series. He has designed the cover art for every novel and novella and is a valued member of the team. Barb has nothing but great things to say about Steven and absolutely loves collaborating with him. From just a very simple description or short summary of the book, he is able to truly bring it to life on the cover. According to Barb, he even brings the characters to life in such a way that "makes you think of them as if you would be sitting next to your best friend."
