A little about me.
I’m a native to the state known for the popularity of many movements from surfing to hippies the sun shines brightly. I can change a washer in the bathroom faucet and know how to use most any tool…a screwdriver, drill, hammer or saw. I eat mostly fruits and vegetables but am an ice cream-aholic. My passion is creativity, my art, the activity of the mind in motion… my son. I at times play a mean game of chess. I designed and sculpted my first chess set and it’s beautiful. My mother was a florist and actually designed some headresses for the Los Floristas Headdress Ball. My father was big on Sci-fi. I grew up with a garage full of Astounding, Amazing, and other science fiction magazines lining the walls of our garage. I own a MAC… it has changed my life. I seldom get tired of watching over and over again reruns of the TV shows “One Step Beyond”, “Outer Limits”, StarTrek, NCIS, Stargate and a few others. I believe that three of the most important actions one can take is to observe life around them, ask questions, take action and oh yeah, smile.
Today’s technology has opened up a whole new way to view our world… I hope you’ll consider using my services and please Contact me karrie@beitnow.com with any questions.

Testimonials (more at Author-Testimonials on my Book Design website)
“Karrie Ross came into a my book writing project at a time it had lost its direction and momentum. She not only got the project heading in a positive direction again, her confidence and expertise made the journey into something fun again. If you’re thinking of publishing anything, a consult with Karrie is well worth the time, and her work is WELL worth the money. I have had so many compliments just on the looks of my book alone, that was very surprising and I owe that to Karrie. I highly recommend Karrie.” February 16, 2009

“There is no one quite like Karrie Ross when it comes to book cover designing. She literally brought tears to my eyes when I saw the first cover she did for me. After months of being told it couldn’t be done by other designer, there it was. Maybe I shouldn’t say it, but based on inside information, I know that she does the job the big publishers do, for a fraction of the cost. As of 3/2008, I have sold 42,000 books off of the four covers she’s designed for me. —Jerry Eicher, A Time to Live, Sarah, Hannah, Hannah’s Dream, Sarah’s Son , Cover Desig
