Earlier this month, I redesigned my book covers so they are more unified and “branded.”

The first image is as the covers are now, the second shows a more unified look, and the third adds a tagline.

I'd love to hear what you think.

As someone else said, I'm both flattered and furious.

Over the decades, I’ve interviewed hundreds of people for news stories, research, and more. I can count on my fingers, however, the number of times I’ve been interviewed as an author.

One of my favorites is one I wrote myself, so I decided to do that again. Enjoy.
