The illustration of the woman with blind eyes that is surrounded by light.
She has peony flower in her hands and many, many eyes in her body that are visible from the cuts.

The illustration of the woman, siting in the dark with coral and tentacles emerging from her back.

The illustration of the sand watch, figure of woman inside the glass. Watch surrounded by two hands - one old and one young.
Also, there a lot of mushrooms on the bottom and top of the illustration.

The illustration of the mermaid lounging under lily pads in dusk light.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Columbia cancelled my class on race and media, and Washington Post fired me for speaking about race..

But I’m teaching (again) and speaking anyway.

Do not buy my books from Amazon or Down and Out Books directly. I will not get paid. I should get paid, as per my contract, but in an email from D&O I’ve been told ‘no further payments will be issued.’
It absolutely blows it is ending this way, but man, pay your authors what they are owed.

You cannot be the aggrieved party if you’re not honouring your author’s contracts and refuse to pay them what they are owed.
