Happy Publication day to Eden Boudreau's Crying Wolf from Book*hug Press. This is one of my favourite covers I created in 2022 and so happy to share it with you now. Eden's memoir gives an unflinching look at the darkest days after her sexual assault.

If you're trying to find a "creative" worker like a graphic artist or web designer and are having trouble, consider paying someone for a few months without asking them to do any actual projects.
