We talk a lot about covers here on the blog, with great wisdom, knowledge, and insight, right?! Actually, not so much ๐
Here’s a look at someone who truly knows what it takes to make an eye-catching cover that reflects the story, characters, and impact of a book. The talented Kirk DouPonce of DogEared Design has created all of Ronie Kendig’s Quiet Professionals cover art and this video shows you just how he does it!
When you have recovered from the sheer talent and time spent on this cover (thank goodness for time lapse photography!), scroll down and be sure to enter the fabulous Quiet Professionals giveaway Ronie is offering, via the Rafflecopter widget ~ the prize package includes all three Quiet Professionals novels – Raptor 6, Hawk, & Falcon – ย signed by her good self, PLUS an OSPREY Raptor Hydration pack, valued at $160.00.

VERY cool!!! And I love the background music!

I hope you mean “miss” as in the series is over and not “miss” as in ‘dearly departed’. I haven’t read Falcon, yet, but thoroughly enjoyed both Raptor 6 & Hawk. Would LOVE to take these boys home with me…in book form of course ๐

What a beautiful time-lapse… as a self-trained wannabe graphic designer, it’s inspiring to see how others work! And as an author, it’s good to know there are people like Kirk out there who know WAY more than I do, when I decide to hire someone to design my covers for me!

p.s. I commented before reading the prompt… I haven’t read any of the series books yet, so I miss them all at the moment! But I would love to win the package and read all three!

Thank you for sharing the video!! And the giveaway!!

I haven’t read Falcon yet, but I think I’ll miss Hawk the most. His book was great, though I really like Dean Watters too. ๐
May 7, 2015 at 1:57 am
If I had to choose just one I think I would choose hawk! I really liked his character. I’m going to miss the whole team for sure.
May 7, 2015 at 2:00 am
I’ll miss them all, but Hawk maybe the most?
May 7, 2015 at 2:12 am
Definitely Hawk!
May 7, 2015 at 2:17 am
Loved the video! Graphic artists have such creativity! I am impressed. I can’t wait to read this series. Thank you for the EPIC giveaway.
May 7, 2015 at 3:27 am
Oh! That’s a tough one! I think . . . probably Hawk or Eagle.
May 7, 2015 at 3:28 am
Oops! Wrong name! Trusr me to combine the names from two different series. I meant Pop – that’s what they call him, right? I’m half asleep and my mind isn’t fully functioning. LOL
May 7, 2015 at 9:48 am
That is a hard question. Each book has someone. Harrier cracked me up in Hawk. I think I will miss most of them. Definitely a great series. I will miss Aadela and Rashid. But that is the teacher in me. Go figure.

I sat in awe of this video and had to watch it 3 times before my jaw closed. Absolutely incredible!
May 7, 2015 at 1:34 pm
would love to win the package so I can read them and then keep to re read and not have to miss anyone. ๐
May 7, 2015 at 3:06 pm
I have heard so much about Ronie Kendig, but have yet to read her novels, so I can’t say who I’ll miss most from The Quier Professionals series. However, I do hope I do get to read them! ๐

I saw this over on Novel Rocket earlier in the week and am still taken by Kirk’s cleverness and his appreciation of mighty fine music. Not often one hears Deep Purple in Christian circles.
Wonderful that you’ve also featured this on RR.
May 8, 2015 at 12:03 am
I need to read The Quiet Professionals series, I know I will not want to miss any of Ronie’s books!
May 8, 2015 at 8:02 am
this was amazing to see how the cover gets put together. I am a fan, and am reading Falcon now-you never disappoint. I am looking forward to things yet to come!
May 13, 2015 at 9:32 pm
I have not read this series but it looks adrenaline filled. I have a friend I would share the series with too.
May 14, 2015 at 5:06 am
I’ve never tried this series but I would love too! *fingers crossed*
May 14, 2015 at 5:36 am
Wow. Amazed. Lots of brilliant work and this series is as awesome on the inside as it is the outside. Thanks for the awesome share, Rel. ๐

I have liked them all but I think Dean is my favorite so far.
May 14, 2015 at 12:04 pm
I can’t pick a favorite since I have many more stories to read. ๐ If I had to choose between Dean and Hawk, it would be Dean. I look forward to reading Falcon’s story.
May 14, 2015 at 11:11 pm
Dean!
May 15, 2015 at 2:09 am
i will miss the burly heroes ;). But wait!! I bet more will come
May 15, 2015 at 6:20 am
I’ll actually miss them all……. hard to pick a favorite character from the books.
May 15, 2015 at 9:19 am
I like cassie and brie ๐
