A poster with an aged off-white background. In the center, a photo of foggy coniferous trees is overlayed with Josefa de Ayala's The Sacrificial Lamb painting. Above it, in a dark red sans-serif font, it reads "11-year-old Analía Monroe only finds solace in her small circle of misfits---her younger half-sister Rajel and best friend June---and the dangerous, magical world of Mosswood deep in the forests of their rural Oregon hometown, but their obsession may have deadly consequences." The photo is outlined with a dark red border. Above the border, in green sans-serif text, it reads "There is something in the woods." Below the lamb, there are dark red blood drips which give way to the title, a green serif font reading "MOSSWOOD" and then "a novel by E.S. Hanson." Below that, in the same red sans-serif font, it reads "Adult contemporary fantasy, folk horror, dark fae folklore, eerie forests." Bordering the image are small golden guardian angel figures.

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.

A movie poster that displays the image of a sailboat beneath the reflection of the night sky. This is to showcase my novel “Whispers of the Sea.”

Across the top can be found a list of what to expect in the novel. The list includes: epic adventure, forced proximity, earth magic, and Hawaiian influences.

At the bottom of the poster is a summary that reads:
“Jasad Heir meets the Starless Sea in this young adult fantasy following a teen girl who embarks on a journey to uncover the whereabouts of her missing uncle.

Deafening cheers echo over the city. Some rioters douse the building in gasoline, making the fire grow. Someone throws a Molotov cocktail that shatters with a celebratory blast. Others hold up their torches at us as the chanting starts back.
Journey raises our torch with a smile. "I can't believe you really did it." He shakes my shoulder with his free hand. "You started the fire."
I look down at the chaos below us. The passion for our rights so strong, even the cops have given up and given in. No way they're stopping this.
Sirens loom in the background as firetrucks on either side of the road try to weave through the human traffic. The building shakes under Journey and my feet. Smoke funnels in the air like a mushroom cloud. Pieces of the roof break off as the wooden beams underneath the blackened beige stone give way to blistering heat. The chants fade to a static hum. My mind drifts until I'm lost in my head, heartbeats echoing at rapid pace. This is real. The capitol is on fire...

The cover of The Unmapping by Denise S. Robbins features a bold, abstract design composed of overlapping colorful geometric patterns, blocks, and lines. A fragmented city skyline runs horizontally across the center in shades of orange, purple, and pink, evoking a sunset or sunrise. Silhouettes of two figures appear at the bottom corners, partially obscured by the abstract patterns. The title, "The Unmapping," is displayed in large, dynamic white lettering across the center, with the author’s name, Denise S. Robbins, written in white at the bottom.
