Book Cover Design Brief

This is the first book of my mystery/suspense young adult trilogy. This will be for paperback and e-book so I will need it in PDF and JPEG. Please follow the requirements for Createspace. 6x9/ .125" bleed/ spine 0.75"

Front: I'd like the cover to be a forest (I'd like the forest to be mostly gray). At the top in red letters I'd like the title 'The Thing About Scorpions' (all uppercase letters). I'd like thick block letters (see file #3). In the forest I'd like the black silhouettes of two girls walking into the woods (so we should see their backs). I'd like one of the girls to have one arm around the other girl's shoulders (like the snow boarders) and one hand holding a knife behind her back. Author name at the bottom: Tiffany Nicole Smith (I've attached book covers that have the shadowy silhouette I'm going for as well as the look of the forest. I'd prefer there not to be snow.)

Spine: At the top: Smith in white letters
Middle- 'The Thing About Scorpions' in the same font as front title but smaller
Bottom- (Scorpions Book 1)

Back: I'd like the back to be red with white font:
"I've caught you little mouse. Now I have to eat you." (I'd like that to be in a large, bold font.)

In smaller white font:

Something is wrong with Autumn. Unfortunately, she has a way of getting her friends to do anything. Lying and manipulating are her special skills. Cicely Scott and her friends find themselves tangled in Autumn's web, unable to free themselves as dead bodies pile up around them. Cicely is at her breaking point and must find a way to free herself from Autumn's clutches. The only problem with that- (emdash) Autumn won't let her go easily. Then there's poor Emma, the pretty girl dating Autumn's crush, who mysteriously turns up missing . . .

Then at the bottom: Twisted Spice Publications in white cursivy font.

The book is 300 pages.

See attached pictures for the feel I'm going for.
