Client Testimonial Excerpts (read more here) "We are extremely satisfied clients of Susan Houck's Crescent Moon Designs. During the months of June and July, 2009, Susan designed and prepared for publication the novel, Journey to Purity by Rochelle Owens (to be published by Texture Press, Fall 2009), with great skill, imagination, and attentiveness to detail. She is the consummate professional in every sense of the word. She frequently kept in touch with us by e-mail and telephone, and by land mail when necessary, throughout the process. Susan listened closely to our ideas, and offered her own expert advice at critical points during the book's preparation. She brilliantly suggested using the cover photograph as a black and white background for the title page and made sure we were thoroughly informed about all of the design issues that pertained to the creation of the book. Susan's services were indispensable, and we wouldn't think of considering another designer the next time we need one."––Rochelle Owens and George Economou (August 16, 2009) “I met Susan through BlitzTime and at that time was looking for a designer for my banner and badge for Free Skin Care Help --- she was reasonably priced, super friendly, quick, easy, and fun to work with!
