And a recent one for a historical dramedy—think Bridgerton x the Anna Delvey fraudster story: drive.google.com/file/d/1mSyd...

Title image for "The Lost Heiress", text says "A historical drama by Annika Lee". The image shows an 18th century man and woman in romantic embrace.

The book marketer spam is hitting me too. Plot twist: I don't even have a book out. 😆

Hi,

I recently came across your book and wanted to reach out because your story caught my attention.

I'm an illustrator who enjoys creating character artwork inspired by an author's story. The goal is to give readers a visual connection to the characters and world you've created. Authors often use these illustrations on their website, social media, or in content related to their books.

If you'd be interested, I'd be glad to share a few character concepts based on your book. If it isn't something you're looking for, that's completely fine—I simply wanted to introduce myself.

Best wishes,
Peter

"Hi,

I just wanted to follow up on my previous message in case it got missed.

While reading about your work, I was thinking about how every story has moments, characters, and emotions that readers imagine in their own way. Sometimes giving those elements a visual form can create a new way for people to connect with the book.

I’d be happy to explore a few ideas inspired by your story if that’s something you’d enjoy seeing.

Wishing you all the best,

Peter"

he did, unfortunately, but he also posted this in a reply and I think it's very encouraging:

I am also occasionally quite funny

Parody of Vulture's 2022 Nepo Baby article with text: "On the come-up: Gen Z nepo babies just getting started." Elendil from Rings of Power is shown with the subheading "Elendil, captain in the Sea Guard." Next to him is Isildur, Sea Guard Candidate, with an arrow pointing to him saying "Dismissed from the Sea Guard only to be reinstated for the mission to Middle-Earth"

1. I like unreliable narrators. You like unreliable narrators. You know who the most unreliable narrator is? This scrunkly little guy, blorbo of all time, Eugenides (Gen). You're gonna fall in love with him. You're gonna want to throttle him. (official art by Emily B Martin)

meet my girlfriend's cat Alice. Alice is very small, very old (~14-15??? former street cat,) and very grumpy. despite her diminutive size, her purrs measure approximately 8.9 on the Richter scale.

Into sci-fi and Afrofuturism? I can't recommend upcoming novella SONGS FOR THE SHADOWS by Cheryl S. Ntumy enough! It's set in an awesome collaborative world called the #Sauútiverse and I'm very excited for future works in this world. My 5-star review: app.thestorygraph.com/book_reviews...

Book cover of "Songs for the Shadows: A Sauútiverse Story" by Cheryl S. Ntumy. The cover art features a Black woman with her locs streaming behind her; she's underwater wearing a shocked expression, as a tentacle whips around her front.
