When I&#8217;d ask, people\u00a0told me about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/\">Canva<\/a>. I&#8217;d tried it last year and got distracted, but I came back to it a month or so ago and saw how it&#8217;s actually really easy to use.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a drag-and-drop site that&#8217;s free and you can make all kinds of fun posts and ads. In fact, in just an hour or so I made the cover for that Halloween short story installment in the Legally in Love collection, <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2iCaR2w\">Assumption of the Risk<\/a>. It&#8217;s not super duper great, but I think it fits the romantic suspense tone I was aiming for.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a paid version of Canva, if you want to use some of their more-awesome-looking graphics, but if you just want to design using some of their templates and stock images, you&#8217;re still good to go. Once you have your item all set, you can just hit download or share and you&#8217;re golden.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one I made today for this post.
