State-Sponsored Sex and Other Tales of International Misadventure
Cover Designer: Jane Dixon-Smith
Comments about cover design
My memoir takes place during a decade living in China and Hong Kong. I wanted the cover to have an international feel to it and I wanted it to be fun as the memoir is about my quest to find the humor in what ever predicament I found myself in. I selected the vector image and asked Jane to make some minor modifications such as changing the character’s hair to red like mine. I then asked her to make the cover look like passport stamps. I think she did a great job.

Catchy title and colorful cover to match. Takes what I consider a dry subject and makes it look as though you’ll have an enjoyable time reading.

the cover matches the contents of a lady going wacko….running/traveling in those high heels…..yes, cover fits the content 🙂

This cover is so much fun. Anyone who travels frequently has to relate to it. the exasperated look on her face, the weight of the luggage and then the stamp; don’t we all love passport stamps?

Who wouldn’t want to pick up this book and read it! State Sponsored Sex…and then you do read it and find it’s drop down on the floor funny (that’s funnier than ROFL funny BTW!). But it was the cover that got me to pick it up for sure!
