If you have a reasonable amount of experience with a full featured paint shop type program, then you might want to create your own cover page like I am. There are many web sites where you can purchase royalty free photos at a very low price. You will need them to compose your book cover. Just learn the important aspects of page design for composition. Again, check out Zoe Winters' book on publishing for her tips on this.
I'll post the book cover in about a week after I've run it by my mentor and our writers group.

Print and ePublishing - A good book
Zoe's Winters' SMART SELF PUBLISHING covers both print and ebook publishing. I found it on Amazon.com for $3.99. She has lots of very good feedback and so far it seems to be answering a lot of my questions about ebook publishing. There's more to it than you might think!
In case you are not aware, you can download Kindle reading software for your PC or MAC at Amazon.com. It's free and works very well.

Researching How to Publish an E-book
With the tremendous growth in ebooks, it's time to find out how to publish one. That's what I'm doing while a few more beta readers finish DRAGOOLEND and provide their feedback.
Check back often and see what I've learned about publishing ebooks. The problem is with all the dis-information, scammers, and thiefs that out there. My first shot at this will be with Amazon.com. Let's see what I learn. I'll provide updates as I go along. When I'm done, I'll try to complete a simple to follow, step-by-step process that anyone can use.
