“I struck gold when I first saw one of Barb’s covers. Chef’s kiss! Not only is she easy to communicate with, friendly and professional, but she’s diligent in all aspects of her job. 

But let’s go back to her covers. She’s blown me away more times than I can remember. I’m so lucky I found her. Did I mention I struck gold?  But you don’t need to hear this from me. Her portfolio speaks for itself. “

"Barbara's skills and talent for design are unparalleled.  She had a vast knowledge of the historical romance cover genre and creates masterpiece cover designs that set books with her art apart from the thousands of other books for sale. 

Working with her is a seamless process because she is a true professional! I can't recommend anyone more highly. "
