Brief de Design de Couverture de Livre

i am a published author back in he 1970's...bantam, william morrow, harcourt brace. my agent died and the companies have been bought.
i want to publish on my own and have 3 completed novels. DIE GRIEF is the first. i need a book cover, spine and back cover design for the book.
i will use the book design as an important part of a website i am planning for this and the other 2 books. i will need a design for the other books once this is completed.

this book is a thriller; the second is a historical novel, the third is a comedy. i don't know, because of the differing contents whether there should be an consistency in the design. i think not.

i have an excellent Kirkus review and will want phrases from it prominently on the design. i like to be involved in the process. although the thriller deals with the Nazis, i don't want a bunch of s.s. officers. I see the book as a labyrinth with almost unbearable twists and turns. it is not a person book, but driven by the PLOT.

the design must be setup for CreateSpace ( amazon ) for printing. Font is important.i like black, but not critical.

the Kirkus review (below) has an excellent outline and telling of the book.

as the other 2 novels are completed and i need help with a website, this could be more than just one project.

Back Cover Details:
i would like a small photo and 2 line bio next to the photo.on back cover if it fits.... leaving room for the IBSN /barcode.
the cover, design and excerpts are critical for success and i am willing to work and pay extra to have it the best.
i have never done this before as my first 2 novels were published by traditional houses, so, you must forgive any awkwardness in the process.
thank you

THIS IS THE KIRKUS REVIEW OF THE BOOK::::::::::
DIE GRIEF (THE GRIFFIN)
Hirschhorn, Richard
Manuscript
BOOK REVIEW
Hirshhorn (A Pride of Healers, 1983, etc.) offers an animated chase through Boston and Europe as his characters unravel
a mystery involving six pairs of identical Jewish twins saved from a German concentration camp.
In 1965, Paul Brunelle, a scientist fruitlessly searching for the secret of telepathy, receives a tantalizing report of
macabre experiments conducted by Martin Heilman, a Nazi researcher on a similar mission. Brunelle searches for the
twins who were the subjects of Heilman’s experiments, and he gets help from Anne Rodl, the daughter of another
German who was a pawn in a scheme to smuggle unknown items of the collapsing Reich. The first twin they
discover—Frieda Grauber, a woman who had lived a solitary life in a Jewish neighborhood of Boston—is already dead,
the victim of a grisly murder. Her stomach had been sliced open and an odd, smaller tear made in the area of her
appendix. It soon turns out that, not long before her death, Grauber discovered that she was a beneficiary of a mysterious
will. The search then jumps the Atlantic to England, where Hammer, the powerful company funding Brunelle’s research,
pushes Paxton, the bank that served as an executor for the will, to release information on another set of twins—who also
turn out to be dead. The novel’s settings are vivid and refreshingly detailed and include a grotesque concentration camp
in Jena, Germany, as well as the Arcadian French Riviera. The cast of villains is equally colorful, and the story takes
many unexpected turns. Brunelle, on the other hand, is a stock protagonist about whom readers learn little more than his
hair color, his profession, and the fact that he enjoys sailing. Hammer, meanwhile, has the convenient ability to coerce
any organization or suspect, but it’s never treated with any scrutiny itself. The novel could also have used a stronger
copy edit; for example, various characters’ thoughts are rendered inconsistently, either in all-caps or underlined. Despite
these issues, however, the overall story is excellent and a reason to look forward to more from this author.
An often audacious Nazi mystery with plenty of well-placed plot twists.
