My good friend Trana commissioned me to make some new book covers for her Dead Man series, which she is getting ready to re-release on Amazon as Kindle books. 
The most difficult part of making the covers was finding stock images on deviantArt that would allow commercial use. I tried looking through a few of the stock websites, but the prices they ask for stock is ridicules. iStockPhoto wanted almost $200 for one.
The stories themselves are a mix of supernatural mystery and humor. I tried to get that across with the covers. The first one, Dead Man Talking, came out okay, but I really love how the Dead Man Haunt cover came out. I was lucky to find the skunk image.
