I'm going to post any graphics I make in regards to books here. Enjoy, comment, share! :D

Note: Anything noted as SAMPLE is not for use. The images are copyright protected and for display only. Thank you to all the authors for giving me some inspiration to make something pretty! The covers I chose to work on were selected randomly, do not reflect that actual book's content and are simply used as examples and inspiration. The content of my designs does not reflect my personal views or opinions.

Author Marisa Adams released the graphics I created for her. The design below is for a Bookmark and is also utilized in a Facebook cover photo and two website banners at www.MarisaAdams.com.



Marisa was great to work with. Very patient and kind, even through any bumps, which are pretty normal. I hope to design more things for her in the future!

Graphic viewable on my Facebook page too.

I haven't posted much the last week because I started doing some steady work for a small publisher. (YAY! So excited!) Currently I'm working on doing some re-imaging of existing eBooks. I'll definitely be posting them here as I work on them and I hope you enjoy!

This week I've been on a roll! Seriously, completed 3 covers for L&W Books (one of which will be shown below, other two are not released yet) and start a new one tomorrow. I was also working toward finishing artwork for another author too. It was nice to feel productive and I hope it continues. I don't have a lot of confirmed work on the horizon but it sure does look hopeful!

Thank you for all your encouragement and support here and on Facebook. The sharing, liking and comments really help get my name out there! ;D

eBook ReCover for L&W Books
Shield of the Gods by SM Welles on Amazon and my Facebook.


I was flattered to learn that the author wrote about her new cover and mentioned me with glowing remarks!

"He hired a cover artist named Leah (need to provide her contact info because she’s a fantastic cover artist) and she did such a great job that I wanted to cry when I saw the redo."

Check out what she had to say HERE.

Work is slowing down already this month so I'm out and about looking for other projects to pay the bills. If anyone knows of publishers looking for cover artists, let me knowwwww! ;D

I had the pleasure of working with author Heather Sutherlin this week and designed a pretty bookmark for her to take with her to a convention and schools.



On my Facebook https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...
Heather's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heathe...

She also wrote some awesome stuff about my work. Totally flattered! ;D

"I am totally fan-girling over her work, y’all. She’s not only talented but a lot of fun to work with as an author. I can’t wait to see what magic she cooks up next. Go check out her website and friend her on Facebook to see more of her incredible talent. And tell her I said hello!"

See the rest of her blog post at http://heathersutherlin.com/seen-book...

"If you are going to any book convention, author or blogger event, don't get stuck without a card to hand out to your contacts. Leave your mark and a way for them to remember you in the future. The last thing you want to do is have to write your name and contact information on a cocktail napkin and risk getting trashed."

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of working with a reviewer on a Calling Card design who is also a Group moderator here on Goodreads. ;D I ♥ Bookie Nookie



I was also sincerely flattered with her feedback on the design. She posted on one of her groups here and also on her blog about it.

"I have admired the beautiful covers and web banners created by Leah Kaye, so I reached out to her to see if she would be interested in creating a card that would compliment my current web design. Not only was I impressed by the quick response and turnaround time; I was absolutely ecstatic with her creation..."

Bookie will also be featuring my work for the next three months on her blog (site above). Each week she will review and post information about one of my covers starting this month with the Calling Card design! I'm really excited for the visibility I'll get (and hopefully work with some other folks). Go and visit her site to read her reviews and share with others. ;D

Author RA Odum has revealed the cover for her new book Capture Minds! http://raodum.wordpress.com/2013/05/2...

I LOVE LOVE how this design turned out! It's so vibrant and mystical.

Available on Amazon soon!

Client Feedback: "I am publishing my first novel to amazon this year and I was struggling to find someone who could make me a decent and professional cover. Through a friend finding her on facebook, I found Leah. Not only is she amazingly talented but super awesome and a joy to work with. She answered all my questions (and because this is my first novel I had a lot of questions) and helped me along in the cover-art process. She was able to take the details of my book I provided and the end result was incredible. I highly recommend Leah Kaye." - RA Odum, Author

If you happen to stroll by the group simply named "Erotica" take a look up! You'll see the awesome design I created with the help of Rose and the other moderators. It took a bit to find that riiiiight imagery but I am sooo happy with the end result. It's stylish, has all sorts of naked people (Win! lol), and still fits into the Goodreads rules and regulations for nudity. Can't beat that.

New cover for author Jennifer James! Covert Craving will be released in a few days on June 15th and I've gotten the authors permission to post the cover early. It was a pleasure working with her!

If the story looks good to you then you should definitely stop by Jennifer's Facebook page because she's giving away lots of swag...book thongs with the cover, charm bracelets with the cover, etc.

Happy Saturday Ya'll!

The last few months have been terribly busy but I love the support, encouragement and clients I've come into contact with here on GR so I update as much as possible. That said, I've decided to continue updating ONLY this group. Never fear! You can join it and keep up with my work or so it's bookmarked to use my services at a later date.

I leave you with my latest cover designs for Soul Mate Pubishing. Enjoy!
