A line image of Rodin's The Thinker (A naked man, seated on a rock, with his chin on his hand and deep in thought). Above it the title: The Argonaut's Son, a novel inspired by Sophocles' Ajax. Beneath is the log line: "In Ancient Greece, when one man's dream of family and brotherhood collides with another's quest for honour, can their bond survive the trauma of war?" It is rather cheekily given 5 stars and has recent competition successes listed in laurel wreathes. At the very bottom are the tags: "Father Compex", "Brothers in Arms", "Friends to Lovers", "Big Shields", "Bigger Egos".

This is a movie poster for Years of Red Tears, which is described at the top as a David Copperfield x timeslip dramas literary fantasy romance featuring a doomed cry for love and two lifetimes of regret. At the center is an illustration of the reincarnated MC, in elegant ancient robes, forlornly gazing and reaching out to a reflection of his past self from modern-day Earth. Falling around the post-rebirth MC are pieces of falling paper and a red ribbon of fate. Surrounding the pre-rebirth MC in the pool of tears are silhouettes of faceless women who look on at the two. Readers say the story has “masterful lyrical prose” and that it breaks their heart. A quote from the MC reads, “I remain a boy who wants to live for myself and die for love.” Now querying!
Spontaneously reborn as a noble, Max wishes for endless love despite societal obligations & a curse to kill with his affection. Try as he may, death keeps knocking. He must decide if life is still worth living or if he should finally give in to his yearning for death.

A little bit of rom. A lot of com.
A dark fantasy book poster showing a luminous yellow rose partially consumed by shadow, representing the battle between light and darkness. The title Born of Light, Cursed by Darkness spans the image, with the tagline “Magic lives in your color, when it fades, so do you.” Additional text highlights themes like found family, mental resilience, and a romance where he falls first. Behind the image: I took a picture of a single yellow rose, using my Iphone on the studio setting. I used my black snack container, lol, to prop the rose up. Snapped the picture and uplaoded it to add the text and elements :)
On Runyan, magic lives in color, & Darkness is draining it away. At Wychlith, an academy where losing in The Cage costs pieces of your soul, Rihalyn must uncover her power while being claimed by the tyrant's son, Kieran, whose Darkness may consume the Light she carries.

Movie poster-style graphic for novel in progress called ‘A MOST INCONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT’ with author’s name Neha Yazmin underneath the bold title. Image is of a man and woman standing outside their bedroom. The woman is in pyjamas and is looking at the man with a challenge in her eyes, her hands on her hips. The man is a few paces away from her and in a light coloured suit, looking at the woman with what could be interpreted as longing in his eyes. Along the bottom of the poster is the tagline of the book: “How long before their arrangement becomes inconvenient?” Along the top of the poster are four 5-star movie review-style texts pertaining to different aspects of the book. 1: “A ‘no love pact’” 2: “Dislike to love”. 3: “Bengali couple”.
