Deborah Bradseth - Cover Designer

I've just sent my Code of Honor suspense series back into the world as Encore Editions after giving the books a thorough polish and update. I'm thrilled with the new covers, too. Didn't the designer do a spectacular job? (Thank you, Deborah Bradseth - Cover Designer) If you've never read these, or would like to read them again, I've put my website link to the synopsis of Book 1, which has links to all three books, in the comments. Enjoy!

And the lessons are built around design principles, so they can apply whether you work in Photoshop, Procreate, Affinity, or another program.
