A humorous, illustrated middle grade like LAST KIDS ON EARTH with aliens. For reluctant readers. Author-illustrated and repped by @KristaVanDolzer #PosterPit #AG #SF #F #MG

An illustration of a 12-year-old boy in an epic stance looking off into the distance. He wears a T-shirt/tank and shoulder pads. It’s a closeup shot of a coliseum behind him with red flags waving. Sunlight glints off his shield as he prepares for a fight.

The nursery rhyme The Farmer in the Dell haunts Emily—but the final verse, “the cheese stands alone,” is no rhyme. When her best friend’s illness turns terminal, Emily has days to uncover a truth that could destroy her marriage, child, & the life she’s built around saving Lacey. #posterpit #Q #A

A dark, eerie movie poster with a shadowy background of water, tree branches, and the faint outline of a woman’s face underwater. At the top, text reads: “By Tiffany Darling.” Centered text: “She’s dying. But that’s not the scariest part… The truth is so much darker.” Below, the book title appears: Everything I Gave Her. Subtext: “Now Querying #Q.” At the bottom: “A haunting spiral into the lies we tell for love. Psychological Suspense #T. Rated #A.”

’97 Berlin. Its fallen Wall and pulsing techno scene. But also its unlikely lakeside beach and lazy afternoons. She never planned for any of it. Or for this fiery connection with her conflicted host, whose touch makes her wish she could stay. But love doesn’t care about plans, and it offers no easy answers.
