He listens to your ideas, offers constructive suggestions, and unfailingly delivers the cover you envisioned.

I'm telling you he's good because of my own highly pleasant experience with his skill, talent, imagination, and professionalism. If you want a danged good pro illustrator, Trace is your man.

—Timothy Daniels, author of OutPost

“The covers Trace Edward Zaber has created for my books have consistently surprised and delighted me. He has an uncanny knack for taking my simple ideas and turning them into a cover that catches the reader's attention and captures the essence of the story. The cover of My Rebel Belle recently ranked fourth in the Preditors & Editors Readers Poll 2001, beat out by another cover by Trace. Working with him is a pleasure and takes away the anxiety of wondering if my book's cover will be any good. There's never any doubt about that. I know now it will always be excellent.”

—Pamela Cummings, author of My Rebel Belle and An Affair Of Honor

“If one picture is worth a thousand words, then a cover by Trace Edward Zaber has to be worth at least a million.

—Kay LeGrand, author of Tall, Dark and Western

—Mary Taffs, author of Magick and Welcome To Nash's

“The multi-talented Trace Edward Zaber has made a name for himself in graphic arts and covers. His work continues to grow with each new cover. One of his first covers, Facade, was a finalist for the Spectrum Award 2001—and I'm very proud to have it as a showcase for my novel. He's done every one of my book covers and I couldn't be more pleased with them as we all know how important great cover art is to the sale of a book.”

—Patricia A. Rasey, award-winning author of Deadly Obsessions and The Hour Before Dawn

“I have purchased hundreds of books in my lifetime. Of those, I would say that 45% of them had covers that had nothing to do with the words in the book. That never happens with a Trace Edward Zaber cover. He seems to have the ability to crawl into the author's mind and steal the perfect scene to put on the cover. This is at the heart of his talent. I have never seen that talent surpassed.”

—Gini Wilson, author of All That Glitters and Privacy

“Trace has done three of my book covers and I must say they are simply superb. He has a great ability to capture the essence of the novel in his work. I am constantly being asked about the art work and would highly recommend him. I'll be going back to him for future covers.”

—A. J. Russo, author of New Lodge Affair and The Fragile Egg

“Trace Edward Zaber has created four covers for me so far—each one better than the last! Somehow he takes the vague ideas and photos I send him and converts them into masterpieces of cover art which turn out to be almost exactly what I subconsciously envisioned. Best of all, he’s willing to work with you to tweak the cover until the final product is perfect. He’s a true artist!”

—Sandi Haddad, award-winning author of Rawhide And Lace and Physical Evidence

“Trace Edward Zaber's covers are always arresting and he has a style that is at once distinctive and recognizable and flexible enough to vary its approach for different genres. Trace did a spectacular cover for my time travel romance, Fools' Gold, and of all the cover artists I've worked with (well over 150!) he is one of those who came closest to rendering my characters as I imagined them. His 'Abigail Reed' is my Abigail brought to life on the page. I would recommend Trace's work unhesitatingly to anyone in search of a cover.”
