There is the mock-up of a cover for Rhodora, a YA romantic thriller. On the cover, there's a dim path leading into a dark woods. There are also details about the novel. It's an 80,000 word, commercial YA romantic thriller with a touch of horror and series potential. There's also a teaser from the book in black and white that shows the side of a woman's face and her shoulder. It says, "The expression on Jack's face now was sweet, earnest. She could feel him wanting. Dori took a deep breath and told herself to believe it was about her."
This shows the mood board for Rhodora. There's a young woman holding a sparkler, a pier at sunset, someone holding a baseball bat, a dark silhouette waiting in a doorway, a firefly floating up, a sailboat at sunset, a young woman leading a guy out toward water, a dark forest at night, a dark basement, and friends sitting together on top of a car. There are highlights listed from the book, such as: a psychic girl, a missing boy, a heartbroken friend. Slow burn romance. New kid at haunted school vibes. End of summer beach vibes. Dark paths in the woods vibes. Visions and secrets. First love that might now survive. A protagonist finding her power. At the bottom, there's a list of social issues in the subtext. It says the book features a supporting cast of diverse characters, romance in the book is consensual, it takes the slasher movie formula and turns it inside out, and that the book also shows the negative effects of bullying and the trauma from school shootings.
This shows a blurb for Rhodora. There's also a teaser that says, "Dori knew that her cream dress and long, dark hair made her look pale. If anyone were in the school and they looked out the window, what would they think of her, standing on the lot, strange and still. Would they think she was a ghost? Would she scare them?"
This shows comparable titles for the book: A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, If I Stay, and School Spirits.
Dori Blake would do anything for Jack Kim except tell him this: she’s suffered a vision of his best friend’s murder. His friend
is never coming home.

An excerpt from Rhodora is shown over a wooded scene with a brush pile in the foreground. The excerpt reads: The man spoke again. "I said, I think I've got a body here. Christ, I hope it's not the Johnson boy." But Dori knew it was.
