Artist Ron Deviney is the reason I’m a graphic designer, book cover designer, and 3D stock art designer. Without him, I wouldn’t have a career in art and design. Many centuries ago, before my first novel was published, I went rummaging around the Internet for information on how to use Photoshop, so I could figure out if I had the guts to make my own book cover—or, at the very least, some ad graphics. I came across one of Ron’s Brush packs specifically designed for use in Photoshop. I was so new to design, I had no idea Photoshop brushes could be so, well, spectacular!
