ALT HALF TREE by Bex Drate, a spooky cornfield, a guy laughing, a bonfire party, a girl walking in the autumn woods, all circled around a tree with half of its leaves red in autumn and half of its branches bare.

ALT A mood board of nine pictures. The primary colors are cream, dark brown, black, and ocean blue. On the first row are pictures of a large fantastical victorian city, colorful crashing waves on a sandy beach, and a pirate ship coming into a sunny cove. The second row features pictures of gold coins, a young woman in old fashioned dress reading a book, and scrolls of parchment. The final row shows a swashbuckling sword fight, a compass on a map, and a far away market in a sunny place. The overall vibe is adventure, fun, mystery and magic!

ALT Jade and Axel are the superhero embodiment of Creation and Destruction respectively. Number one rule of being a hero? Never let anyone know your secret identity. Except, that rule only further complicates their love story when they fall in love with each other as classmates while resisting their confusing pull as heroes. As it turns out, Voltrix and Titan have a lot more to battle than just their dark counterpart, Kali, who they know nothing about. The photo depicts Axel and Jade in their civilian forms on the top panel and their superhero forms in two of the other three panels. Titan, Axel's alter ego, can control fire. On the other hand, Voltrix, Jade's alter ego, can wield lightning. The panel on the bottom left highlights the tension between them as they struggle to understand their feelings for each other in a world they're burdened to save. Like the board poses, what happens when Fire and Lightning fall in love and they have no idea? Read Stardust to find out.
ALT Seventeen-year-old Boudica MacLean thinks nothing can dampen her spirits when she’s reunited with her childhood sweetheart, Aiden MacEachan, not even the unwanted advances of the laird’s brother. But when clansmen stumble across a woman’s mauled remains in the woods, the village witch reveals three truths. Boudica’s the last Cagairáin, an ancient race of deadly enchanters who can tame the fay with a whisper. Aiden’s no longer the lad she once knew. He’s a vampire, a fairy-human hybrid born of blood and magic. And she’s being hunted by a band of bloodthirsty baobhan sith, known as the Sisters… and by Aiden. Newly turned vampire, Aiden, was sent back to Scotland to find Boudica and bring her to his vampire family. Like the Sisters, they know whoever controls Boudica controls the fay. Torn between duty to coven and his love for her, Aiden makes an agreement with Boudica. He’ll help her destroy the Sisters, who terrorize her home, and she’ll go willingly with him.
ALT A golden orange sky serves as the backdrop to a dark, isolated island with a couple of trees. Hands bound by handcuffs, a gold necklace, a set of golden orange flasks, a boy and girl walking piggy-back, & a young woman with blank white eyes are imposed over the sky and water, creating a disturbing air of power & mystery with a twinge of hope.
ALT A collection of keepsakes: a Japanese geisha bookmark, a toy dinosaur, Ron Weasley of a black knight, a toy wild west gunfighter, treasure box, toy Egyptian sarcophagus with mummy, and melted clocks to connote time travel.

ALT (Top portion) Two teens (male and female) are opening a door to a new and fantastic futuristic world. There is an equation written on the world, the equation for a "Moment" in physics. There is a title below the picture, across the middle: "THE MOMENT BREAKERS" Below the title is a picture of what looks like an emperor's throne room, and below that, the picture of the rest of the five-man band. The leader (male) who is a reluctant emperor, the muscle (female) with short red hair and battle armor, and the heart (male) - a man out of time. The picture to the right shows a futuristic city being destroyed by falling debris, and the last picture (bottom right) shows a city on fire.
