What do you guys think of this?

I find it hypocritical that Amazon asks you whether you used AI for your book or cover, then dumps your whole book into AI anyway. -via katwrotethat

Premade Book Cover Designs | Wattpad Edition

Hello everyone!

I just designed some fan art book covers for a Wattpad author. Book name: 𝒟ℯ𝒶𝓉𝒽 𝐼𝓃 𝒯𝒽ℯ 𝒟ℯ𝓉𝒶𝒾𝓁𝓈 Where to read?: Wattpad Description:

Regina Lovelace is a tough, no-nonsense private investigator with a singular goal: to uncover the truth behind the brutal murder of her beloved sister. With her loyal partner and husband, Murphy Benedict, by her side, Regina plunges into a world of deception, danger, and dark secrets. But as she digs deeper, she begins to realize that the case is far more complicated than she ever imagined-and the people closest to her may be hiding more than just the truth. Each new clue leads Regina down a twisted path, where nothing is what it seems, and everyone has something to hide. As the investigation escalates, Regina must confront her own painful past and question everything she thought she knew about her family and those she trusts. But the closer she gets to uncovering the killer, the more her own life is threatened by those who will go to any length to keep their secrets buried. In Death In The Details, the line between ally and enemy blurs as Regina faces unexpected betrayals and shocking revelations. With the clock ticking and danger closing in, can she unravel the truth before it's too late? Or will the details be the death of her?

Non-writers don't understand how much of writing is just googling things like "when was the croissant invented" for worldbuilding reasons and staring off into the distance.

Bound To Fall

Valeria never imagined that one conversation with her father would change her life forever. In a single breath, she goes from being a free woman to a pawn in an arranged marriage-to Leandro De Luca, the cold and untouchable billionaire. But Leandro is not just a billionaire. Behind the mask of wealth and power, he hides a darker truth-one he keeps from her at all costs. At first, she is nothing more than an obligation. A deal signed in blood. But as days turn into nights, something in him shifts. Her angelic beauty, her quiet defiance, the way she unknowingly tempts him-it pulls him in, consuming him in ways he never expected. He tells himself he's in control. That she will never break through his walls. But obsession is a dangerous thing. And Valeria has no idea what kind of man she just married.

El Corazón de Bedelia Match

I designed a book cover for a Wattpad author

Bedelia Match nació del pecado de su madre y creció en un entorno sofocantemente frío. Nacida en Aske, Danbrit, una ciudad en el que siempre es invierno. Sobrevivía vendiendo cerillas en las calles hasta que un fatídico día las abrumadoras penas que cargó durante años hicieron que perdiera el control. Dándole la oportunidad a su verdadero padre de reclamarla. Su mera existencia desafía todas las creencias y los valores que tanto la iglesia como su abuela le inculcaron. A la mañana siguiente despertó entre las cenizas de su ciudad jurando que cargaría con el peso del arrepentimiento y culpa por el resto de su vida. Todo el mundo pensó que Bedelia Match murió junto al resto de Aske. Por suerte y por desgracia, Lucian Holloway, el líder de un grupo de huérfanos que escaparon a los bosques, acoge a Bedelia en su comunidad descubriendo de inmediato que aquella chica de aspecto vulnerable era más valiosa de lo que creyó. Ahora Bedelia deberá enfrentarse a un pasado que no pidió mientras intenta seguir adelante y evitar que su padre biológico la convierta en otra marioneta que usar en sus planes. ¿Será capaz de perdonarse a sí misma o caerá en las llamas del infierno?
