Bug Stuff…and Other Stories
Cover Designer: Kat Baldwin
Comments about cover design
I write fun, flirty, and very short stories. So the cute couple represent the romance and fun. One story is entitled Bug Stuff and my friend designed a cute bug just for it. We also wanted the cover to be similar to Little Birdie Who…and Other Stories, another very short collection. My friend knows me very well and my writing and was able to capture exactly what I wanted. It is so irresistible.

Kelly L Lee says
Vicki’s covers are great, and her stories are light-hearted and fun. I love the pop of color and defined style – there’s nothing fuzzy or “blended” about them, which many covers are these days. Incredibly professional.

Such a cute cover! I hate bugs and this one is so dang cute, there is no way I could hate it! Love the colors and the cartoony fun feel!
Kathleen Baldwin says
All these comments are so fun to read. I love this cover, too. But I’m prejudice having drawn the bug myself. Tried to make it the cutest bug possible. Thanks for noticing. Vicki’s stories deserve a cute cover. They are always so deliciously fun.
loa says
Sexy and sassy! Curious bug wants in on the action! A cover that makes one equally curious as to how a bug will get tangled up with this couple.
Dee Gatrell says
I like the cover with the bug and the way the girl has her leg up, it leaves a lot to your imagination. Congratulations on making the finals!
Carolyn Rae Williamson says
I like the way she kicks her leg back when she’s close to him. I can imagine them kissing. The bug is cute too. Carolyn Rae Williamson, Carolyn Rae Author – Facebook, author of Romancing the Gold
Adrianne Ambers says
This is a very attractive cover. It’s just sexy enough to be romantic. The bug isn’t menacing. He seems to be curious. What are those humans up to? I really like this one. Good luck in the contest. I make my own covers with stock images, but the artist on this cover is just so talented.
Sylvia McDaniel says
I love this cover because its comic, fun and flirty just like the stories inside. Kat Baldwin once again outdid herself on the design. The cover represents the stories inside perfectly and you know just by looking at the design that it’s going to be a fun ride.
Patty H says
Love the cutest high heels and kicked up leg , what fun! Most precious bug in the world.

Hannah says
It’s hard to make a cute cover with a bug but you managed! I like the cover because it conveys the lighthearted tone of the stories, and also has very pretty colors. I love the little swirly thing in the bottom right corner.
Lesa Thompson says
Quirky and irresistible, suggesting the female bug phobia leads to that strong, handsome rescue we all desire and can only we hope to have in reading excellent stories! It’s the kind of cover we can’t stop ourselves from wanting to take home and devour!
Jeanine says
Love the cover for Bug Stuff by Vickie Batman. Love the premise…bugs bring together a couple. Great idea for a romance. Showing just the legs is appealing too.
Beverley Bateman says
It’s a cute cover and depicts light romance and maybe fun.
JC says
Another simple but darling design by Kat Baldwin. Best wishes!

Love this cover! So cute and flirty at the same time. Looks great!
Jeanne says
I like this cover. it makes me want to pick it up and see what is inside. Romance and a bug? Hmmmm, looks flirty too!
Kristi Rhodes says
Fun and flirty cover with a dash of suspense – wondering how that BUG is going to upset the romance. Looks like a FUN read.
karla eakin says
I love how you know they are having an intimate moment, and the bug looks like he’s intruding…you know he’s thinking how high is this guy gonna jump if I crawl up his leg
Nick Genovese says
i like the blue background color. It’s so relaxing and makes everything in the foreground look so alive and significant. I like the woman’s long sensuous legs. She looks like she is in heaven and the male looks like the kind of hero who could bring her there. And, is that beetle looking up her dress? Shame, shame. A beautiful cover for sure.
Maureen Mann says
Cutest little bug ever! Makes me think a funny story ensues!
Angela Adams says
This cover suggests that the reader is about to be taken on a fun, romantic, and thrilling ride!

Simple, cute and whimsical, like the author’s work. I think it conveys the tone of the stories in this book extremely well.
Kathy Estell says
What an adorable cover for an adorable romance! Love the leg!
Cathy McElhaney says
Love this cover! The bug is adorable (and I don’t like bugs!) and the hint of flirty romance is eye catching.
Maria Ruiz says
The simplicity of the cover is delightful, especially with the little bug in the center of the cover. It makes one want to pick up the book to see what it’s about.
chris keniston says
what a fun cover. Whimsical yet not very busy. Just a hint of romance, but not overbearing. And a cute bug. Who would have thought it possible to make a bug cute ! Wonderful cover.
Karilyn Bentley says
This is such a cute cover! It says whimsical, romantic and fun. And the bug doesn’t cause me to go running. 🙂 Good job!!
Eve Mardis says
What a cute cover, flirty with a hint of humor. It tells me that I’m in for romance and smiles, my favorite kind of romance. Other than auto-buys, a cover draws me to a book first, and this one definitely would cause me to stop and look. And who can resist a man with flowers.
Vicki Batman says
Wow, whee! This is so exciting. Thank you for including me in the Book Goodie cover contest. I think Kat Baldwin outdid herself. It’s cute, sassy, and fun with a dash of romance.
