It's been great working with Jake on this cover design. The experience of taking a vague idea and turning it into a cover went smoothly and with minimal hassle despite my habit of taking days (sometimes a week or two) to let ideas marinate in my head before sending a reply. I love the cover, and I definitely recommend Jake to other authors working in this genre.
