a variety of images including Tennessee swamp, river in the desert, overgrown, decaying bridge and buildings in upstate NY & Detroit, a flower strewn wood altar, a Fool tarot card with a figure blithely stepping off a cliff in VT, a Hermit tarot card with a figure holding a lantern in a colorful swamp, and the quote "... every end is a beginning" by Tai Gong Diao

Embark on a journey full of surprising twists across a healing landscape. Travel crumbling highways and swollen rivers through the mountains of Appalachia and moody swamplands of “New New Orleans”.
Experience a vision of hope, growth, and transformation.

Light Red background. Title reads: "Comps for Camille & the Cookies.” There is a bulleted list of 3 works. Little Red Riding Hood (My First Fairy Tales) by Tiger Tales (Author), Loretta Schauer (Illustrator) (March 3, 2015) The Little Cyber Engineer, By Amber DeVilbiss (Author, Illustrator) (July 17, 2022) Chicken Clicking By Jeanne Willis (Author), Tony Ross (Illustrator) (September 1, 2015) Underneath the list comes the cover images of each of the books. On the left, is an image of a book, Little Red Riding Hood, with a cartoon wolf and a little girl. The little girl is wearing her hair in pigtail braids covered with a red cape and hood. She’s wearing red mary jane shoes and white and blue striped long socks or hosiery. She’s holding a basket. It’s very stylized. The wolf looks more kind than sinister with yellow eyes. He’s rubbing his hands together raised under his chin. They both look like they’re in movement - dancing or running. There are pine trees and forest. In the front part is grass with some white small flowers. You can see what is likely granny’s cottage. The author and illustrator’s names appear in the grass in white print. The middle image is of a book with a navy cover. Its title is The Little Cyber Engineer in yellow text. The image is of a little girl in all black looking like a ninja or hacker. She's carrying a sack full of money. The author and illustrator is listed in the bottom right hand corner in white and yellow text. On the right, is an image of a very cartoonish adorable and humanized chick sitting in front of a desktop computer with a computer screen glowing. The chick is using a mouse and keyboard and is obviously online surfing. The chick has blushing cheeks. The Title, Chicken Clicking, appears in big, yellow font. The author’s and illustrator’s names in small blue font on either side of the title. There’s a quote on the cover in a cartoon bubble that reads, “A great book…to introduce safety on the intranet. GUARDIAN”

Empowering the Underrepresented. wolf emoji. No real villains supervillain emoji. Redemption arcs superhero emoji. open laptop emoji. Digital messages in (mostly) analog format. old style dial telephone emoji. At the bottom is an image of a smiling brunette girl in a red hood and cape.

There is a black thin arrow leading to a picture of a red drawstring hoodie and a picture of 3 chocolate chip cookies.

Mood board with a light red background. In the first row of pictures, three photos described left to right. 1st - is a collage of chocolate chip cookies. 2nd- is a stack of older bound books with the book on top open and the pages arranged in an arch. 3rd - is a colorful assortment of handprints made from paint, assembled as if done for a school project. The second row has three images and a text box. From left to right- The first image is rendition of a planet in space with light hitting the top of the planet. This image is outlined by text resembling computer code in blue with images of locks to indicate data security. The next box is black text over a white background. In a cursive font, it reads “Everything is idyllic in the town of Alaurea.” In the third box is an image of a figure in a red hood carrying a basket walking along a dirt trail into a green forest. The fourth box is a closeup of an outdoor carousel. At the top right of the image is the face of one horse of the carousel. The rest of the carousel animals are seen from behind. In the third row, there are 4 boxes, 3 with images and one with text. From left to right - The first box has the image of a young Black girl (around 6-8) set to an off-white background. The girl has dark curly hair, is wearing a lab coat and blue safety goggles and is holding her chin as if she is thinking. In the second box is the image of a gray wolf lurking behind a tree. Only one of the wolf’s eyes is visible and there is a cloudy nature scape in the background. The colors of the image are wintery, with a bit of light blue hues. The third box has a white background with black text. In cursive writing, it reads “until a wolf changes everything…can Camille put it to right?” The final box has a market stand with rows of cookies. These are lots of cookies, some with marshmallows and chocolate, some double chocolate peanut butter, some white macadamia and either oatmeal raisin or Chocolate chip.

Six images are arranged against a dark grey background. Clockwise from top left, these are: A green background with lines of code running down it. A man’s body is silhouetted against the lines of code. A sepia image of a paper target with nine bullet holes, most clustered around the inner circles. A sepia effect image of an old-fashioned box camera and strip of negative film. The silhouette of a man on his knees in a dark alley, with his hands behind his head. A blue passport with Deutsche Demokratisch Republic - Reisepass stamped on the cover. A sepia image of an old-fashioned, twin-bell alarm clock. The time reads 11.20. Above the clock is white text, in courier font, which reads: Out of Time There are two circular red stamps embossed on the collage of images, one reads ‘Classified’, and the other reads ‘Top Secret’.

For Gidion Keep, hunting vampires is easy, it’s high school that might kill him. When Gidion takes on a coven of vampires in Richmond, one of his best friends might hold the key to stopping them (if his friend doesn’t betray him first).
