An Amazon screenshot of the Gladiator Shifters series page, with 3 book covers of hot shirtless men in fighting togs with the Colosseum beneath them and their shifter animals spray painted on the brick walls behind them. The text reads: Love can change the world... Laws that defined the shapeshifters who were born in the heat of battle in the Roman arenas have ruled the gladiator shifters for thousands of years, all the way into the modern day. But now five shifters find their fated mates are not willing to accept what has always been as what must always be. Whether they must travel to the edge of death—or even beyond—they will defy history and change the world they've always known....

A badly colored four panel comic: PANEL ONE: KIT, a young white woman with brown hair worn in a ponytail, comes into her house. Kit: Honey, I'm home! Honey, off-screen: MUST you call me by asinine nicknames? PANEL TWO: Kit is hanging her backpack up in the background. The foreground is a kitchen. HONEY speaks from off screen. Kit: Your actual name is an UNPRONOUNCEABLE ELDRITCH HORROR. Honey: Yeah, SO? Kit: You also sit around eating HONEY all day. Honey: I do NOT! PANEL THREE: Kit is now sitting on the kitchen counter in front of a window. She has a hand palm up and an extremely skeptical expression, as if to say 'case in point.' PANEL FOUR: Honey, a small green and blue creature with purple and gold wings, large eyes, and pointed ears, is sitting on the kitchen table with a pot of honey in his lap and a honey stick in his hand. Honey: Well, this is awkward.

The staggeringly fabulous cover for CE Murphy's BONE & BLOOD, a retelling of "Snow White, Rose Red" features two women standing back to back: one is garbed all in blood red, with dark red hair and a black mask; the other wears flowing white, with wheat-pale hair and a glittering mask.

Sophia, the cat in question, who is a pretty tabby with green eyes and a white tummy, peeks out from behind a stairway ballastrude in what might be the greatest picture of a cat ever taken. Or at least the greatest picture I've ever taken of a cat.

The Gleniff Horseshoe, genuinely one of the most spectacular natural formations I ever seen, swooping across the landscape
A genuinely spectacular shot of the mesa mountain Benbulben, in Co Sligo, Ireland. It looms greenly and grandiosly against a brilliant blue sky littered with puffy white clouds and over a field with a handful of grazing sheep.
One half of an almost-panorama of Benbulben
A shot of Drumcliffe Church where WB Yeats is buried. A hand-drawn yellow dotted line on the image shows the path that one takes to approach the graveyard. Yeats's grave is circled and is perhaps as much as 20 feet from the church's front door. It is literally the first grave as you walk toward the graveyard. It is not, however, particularly prominent or featured.

A screenshot of a Discord conversation reading: Phazedout we just watched kong:skull island although it mentions monarch it has pretty much zero continuity with the tv show CE (Catie) Murphy Yah, it requires much wrenching around to even try to line it up. Phazedout you know I only watched 2 serasons of monarch so I can read your fan fic CE (Catie) Murphy I do know that, yes O_O The chapter I just posted completely relies on people having watched it bc I'm not rehashing events that actually happen in the show ::big grinning emoji face::

A shot of Queen Maeve's Square in Sligo town centre, with the enormous blue-and-rainbow-colored SLIGO sign in the background. It is absolutely DUMPING rain. It is LASHING. POURING. Rain is visibly bouncing back up from the square's paved surface. It is visible as white streaks everywhere in the air. It is raining VERY HARD. And in the foreground, a lone person in a brown jacket and black trousers, hands in their pockets, head down, is caught mid-stride as they trudge dolefully across the wet square.

A quick pencil sketch of a woman with a very poorly drawn but happy dog. It's all pretty bad, but at least I drew something!
A 4 panel comic. PANEL 1: a young white woman with brown hair, a red t-shirt, and a blue skirt comes in the door, calling, "Honey, I'm home!" Off-panel, someone says, "MUST you call me by asinine nicknames? PANEL 2: The young woman, whomst we shall call Kit, is hanging up her backpack at the back left of the panel. The rest of the panel displays half a kitchen. Kit: Your actual name is an unpronouncable ELDRITCH HORROR. Off-screen: Yeah, so? Kit: You also sit around eating HONEY all day. Off-screen: I do not! PANEL 3: Kit is now sitting on the counter, one hand upraised and an 'I told you so' expression on her face. PANEL 4: A small green and blue creature with purple and gold wings, a purple and gold mohawk, and large pointy ears, is sitting on the kitchen table with a small bucket of honey on its lap and a honey stick in one hand. Honey: Well, this is awkward.

The truly incredible cover to CE Murphy's upcoming pulpy paranormal romance novel, THE SEDUCTION OF SHARK MAN, portrays a red-headed woman scientist in a lime green dress beneath a lab coat. She is holding a vial of glowing green goo as an enormous half-man, half-shark, well, SHARK-MAN clutches her to his tremendous chest, her ample bosoms pressing up against his own ample bosoms. He is ginormous. He is tattooed. He is half dressed. She looks lustful. He leers. A laboratory surrounds them. Her thigh curves around his. It's simply incredible. The image is treated to look like a battered old paperback. The text above them, reading THE SEDUCTION OF SHARK-MAN, is in lurid reds and yellows. A poster to one side cries, "THEIR FORBIDDEN LOVE DEFIED SCIENCE!" The author byline reads "An exciting new romance from C.E. Murphy writing as MURPHY LAWLESS." It is simply incredible. I would say there are no words, but I've just used 200 of them to describe this. :)
A screenshot of a tweet by Louise Jensen Duffy: So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn't produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.
