Jamie & Kati: Share 5 fun facts about yourself.
Cherry:

1. I do love cherries
2. I love to travel and hope to see the world
3. I'm a vegetarian
4. I can do the splits and
5. I collect old coins

J&K: What drew you to pursuing design?
Cherry: I have always loved art and anything requiring creativity. I started doing covers for Evernight when approached by the owner and I fell in love with it. I'm addicted now! I just wish I had more free hours in the day.

J&K: How many hours do you spend on one cover?
Cherry: It depends. Usually a couple hours but it depends. Some are much harder than others to do and some pictures are harder to find.

J&K: What program do you use to design covers?
Cherry: I have a few I play around with.

J&K: When you design a cover, does the author have any input or do they give you full creative control?
Cherry: I get a cover sheet from the author with a blurb, character descriptions, genre, setting and important elements. I try really hard to capture the mood of the story and vision of the author while also keeping it sexy and in line with the look Evernight wants to achieve.

J&K: What is your favorite genre to design?
Cherry: Sometimes I read a sheet and I get a vision right away. Some are more difficult, especially when authors ask for a lot of very specific elements. It's not really a genre a prefer. Sometimes I like to push my limits and try new things.

J&K: Which authors have you designed covers for?
Cherry: I've designed for dozens of Evernight authors. You can see my covers on my Facebook page or at www.evernightpublishing.com

Thank you for having me,
Cherry

My goal as a cover artist is to capture the mood of the book while making it attractive to potential buyers. I love to play with different elements and make each cover unique. Evernight has a very specific look they like for their covers that sets them apart from most, and I try hard to make the authors happy with my work. I look forward to working with my existing and new authors long into the future!!
