Funny meme: plain blue background, line drawing of a young woman sitting next to an open book, the caption reads "When I walk through a library or a book store, I always touch the books that I've read. It is my way of giving my favourite characters a high five."

Promotional image for the contemporary fantasy book Blood Runner by JD Stanley - dark scary-looking red and black randomly patterned background, on the right, the book cover appears on a paperback book and a mobile phone, on the left a quote from the book in white lettering "I didn't feel well. Confession is supposed to be good for the soul, but then I had none so all it brought me was disquiet."

A cartoon panel with a writer leaning over the back of their chair holding out a coffee cup toward a dog that looks like a yellow lab wearing a vest that says "Service Dog" and is resting next to a person sitting in a chair beside it. The speech bubble over the writer says, "Could I have a little more coffee, please?". The dog is looking over its back at the writer with what appears to be a look of disdain.

Blood Runner promotional image, book cover on the left over a background of dark brown wood, on the right in white lettering a direct quote from the story:

"As much as I can appreciate the beauty of it, as much as I envy its indiscriminate indifference in applying itself to snuffing out one life over another, to be honest, fire scares the holy shite out of me.

It's hypnotic and deceiving and in the end brutal and perhaps a bit too much like myself to look at in the face with any comfort. I knew it wouldn't hesitate to get its caustic arms around me, either, because what am I, after all, but the illusion of fuel? Except in my case, some burnt flesh wouldn't kill me and I'm not much into horrible, unspeakable agony for all eternity.

Okay, maybe not for ALL eternity. But it wouldn't be very fucking pleasant for a while."

He’s ancient. Cursed. And long past caring.

But she isn’t.

And that might be his undoing.
