Snippet:          “Hmph. Really, Linatta? I chose you for your good sense, and only a ridiculous witch would believe that hats are harmless. Everyone who wears them is untrustworthy.”
         Despite Linatta’s best efforts to lock away the name, it slipped from her mouth, “Charly never wore hats. That didn’t make her trustworthy.”
         Toad leapt onto Linatta’s lap and placed a paw over her heart. In his sincerest voice, he said, “Charly was different. She probably wore hats in secret.”

First Lines: Potions Unincorporated

        Twelve vials sat on a shelf where one hundred should rest. Linatta Mosset picked up one of the tapered glasses—thumb-sized and filled to the brim with a warm, green liquid. She uncorked it and took a hard swallow. Bitterness struck first, but it disappeared after a few seconds and slipped into a nutty and earthy aftertaste.

IF THEY SHOULD MATE their child would be the chosen one, uniting two bloodlines to claim the gift of their god, destined to end a future war. No one wants war. No one wants their child to bear this burden. No one knows if the time is right. Precisely why they can't be together.

Text next to an image of dragon gargoyles reaching out from a cathedral steeple- Rooted in Stone YA Urban Fantasy 100k words

Words written over a dark black background with a crow motif-
Rumors say that St. Romain’s is haunted. That suits lonely, troubled goth-girl Helena, perfectly fine. Right away she is fascinated by the eerie sculptures on the campus chapel. Wounded by past rejections, she is reluctant to open up to anyone. All she wants to do is fool her therapist long enough to not get kicked out of another school. When she develops a crush on the mysterious and beautiful Kia, Helena learns her secret… Kia is a gargoyle. The statues are not just stone, but powerful guardians of a rift between worlds. These uncanny guardians quickly find a friend in Helena, but she hides a dark power of her own.
When war spills through the rift, the stones of their beloved chapel begin to crumble and Helena is drawn into the battle to protect the world. Trapped in a strange, technicolor netherworld, our goth-girl heroine must face the darkness within or risk the collapse of both worlds and the destruction of her newfound family of stone… and Kia with them

The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. 

The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects.

At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.
