I need this to be in bookstores already, it's so gooooood

This is a movie or show poster for "Dad Bodies," a comedy horror murder mystery. The poster features several men with exaggerated expressions of shock, fear, and surprise arranged around the title. The title "DAD BODIES" is prominently displayed in the center, with "DAD" in white text and "BODIES" in red. Above the title, text reads "STARRING DAVE VINCENT SAM HANK MARV & TROY IN" and below the title is the tagline "HOW MANY DADS DOES IT TAKE TO SOLVE A MURDER?" The background has a reddish color scheme with what appears to be stylized monster teeth or jaws framing the image, giving it a horror aesthetic. At the bottom of the poster, it states "A CO(S)MIC HORROR MURDER MYSTERY BY B. VAN BOEGOM." The poster combines horror and comedy elements with the expressions of the men suggesting both fear and humor, a comedic take on the horror genre centered around a group of fathers.

You should get a library card if you don’t have one already. Then get the apps Libby and Hoopla. There you can download audiobooks and ebooks. So even if you don’t go to your local library a lot, you can still support them and the authors you love.

I know I'm late to the party, and hopefully this allowed, but would LOVE to do more beta reading for folks working on their romance WIPs for #CuPit!

Now... I'm gonna go like a post of CuPit posts!!

Small-town rivals. A high-stakes quilting competition. A city boy with a secret. And a mountain woman who’s not falling for his charm (or those forearms).

She wants him out of town. He just wants to stitch his way into her good graces.

Enemies-to-lovers, but make it Appalachian.

This is a collage-style image that includes a variety of elements suggesting artistic and romantic themes. The collage features a misty aerial view of a quaint town with autumn colors, an image of a detailed quilt, a cozy, cluttered artist's workspace with a sewing machine, a close-up of hands quilting fabric, and a couple embracing, obscured in shadow to evoke intimacy. There are several text elements: one overlaid on the quilt saying "Art should comfort the disturbed & disturb the comfortable," and another in a minimalist style stating "She denies it. But truth is, she’s falling in love with him." Also, the phrase "Aching to touch her" is placed near the image of the couple. Lastly, there's a map highlighting regions with a heart symbol, enhancing the romantic narrative suggested by the text.

She needs the prize money. He’s the quilting prodigy standing in her way.
She was already going to hate him—then he had the nerve to be charming.

A Guide to The Quarter-Inch Rule Romance #W, #R

"The Pitch" A grumpy, sharp-witted Appalachian quilter just wants to keep to herself, but when a relentlessly cheerful city-boy quilting prodigy rolls into town, she’s forced to go needle-to-needle with him in the town’s biggest festival competition. But when old feuds, small-town superstitions, and one very stubborn attraction get in the way, will they stitch together a partnership—or unravel completely?

Opening Lines These mountains have rules. One, you don’t go out whistling at night. That’d be asking for all kinds of trouble, from bobcat to haint and everything in between. If you make a quilt with thirteen blocks, you better take one out or add one in, otherwise bad luck will stick on you like a tick on a hound. Salt keeps the devil away, and there’s plenty of him in these hollar towns, so it’s best to keep a bag handy to line your windows and doors, especially if you’ve been waking up with your sheets twisted up around your ankles and you’re covered in sweat from a night terror or three. Not that I would know about any of that, or nothing. And when a man enters your quilting store at eight in the morning, wearing clothes that say “city slicker” through every stitch of the fabric, you got every right to be real suspicious.
