Skadi, a piebald tabby, loafing inside an open cat carrier.
Chubby piebald tabby sits on a brown faux leather chair, looking confusedly at the camera, strangely like a human behind it was just making odd noises.
King Elessar at the end of the Lord of the Rings movies, looking amazing in a crown, long hair and a neatly trimmed beard.
Picture of Skadi, a piebald tabby, shoving her head into my hand as I try to photograph her.
Photo of several dozen Warhammer 40K miniatures on a table. All have been assembled but none have even a scrap of paint.
Image of the top inch or so of the KDP bookshelf dashboard. The header has Bookshelf, Reports, Community and Marketing as links. Just beneath that is a warning banner with "View all open eBook quality issues" (It still exists on mine because sometimes something I've corrected just hangs out in review for a few months :P)
An xkcd comic. Black Hat is sitting in a meeting of a Congress. The head of the committee says: "We were convened here to review your nomination for the position of Internet Secretary. " However, on review of your qualifications, we've decided to sentence you to death. "An unorthodox move, sure. But the vote was unanimous."
Shot of the Avro Lancaster from the front. It is an immense four engine plane. On the left, utterly dwarfed, is a Cessna crop sprayer, a more ordinary-sized single person plane. In the middle, you can see the cockpit and nose turret, with pinup art and the same of the bomber (Lady Orchid. Note that this is *not* Lady Orchid, but is painted in her livery as Lady Orchid is lost) To the right you can clearly see one of her wing wheels, which is bigger than a human.
Skadi with her face in the camera accepting cheek skritches. Behind my hand, you can see where she was shaved for her blood sugar monitor. I generally think of Skadi as our shorter haired cat, but that patch definitely shows why she produces much more fur than Freya when brushed.
Green plants with small purple and white flowers.
Cover of the book Spirit Blade by Glynn Stewart. The title text has been replaced with "Hot Guy Rescues Cat" The author name has been replaced with the tagline "Yes. Both the cat and the sword are magic." A tall and well-muscled man in tight black clothes, with a strange glowing mark on his collar, is running away from a burning building. He has a large tabby cat with an odd glow to his stripes held in his left arm and a sword made of seemingly glitchy magical light in his right hand.

Long haired author trying not to cling too tightly to the recently retrieved tabby. The bigger tabby sits on the arm of the chair, looking down her nose at her sister.

Plastic painted black. A LOT of plastic painted black, including most of an outpost's worth of SciFi bunkers, a watchtower, a bunch of green highlighted technology bits, and a small force of skeletal spearmen and knights.
Picture of said pile of groomed fur on the arm of a pleather chair. Thanks to the brush used, it is made up of neatly compacted chunks.
A small tabby cat in a body suit that covers her entire body to keep her from scratching herself. Our poor Skadi. She is curled up to a human on the bed in a manner that definitely shows she is aware of the heating pad under the blanket.
Screenshot of an Amazon review: 1 out of 5 stars Trans BS included: avoid I don’t mind low key gay and lesbian characters; people are people. I object to overt “trans positive” propaganda in my fiction. It totally throws me back into current politics, which I also don’t want in my fiction. Glynn: authors like Melissa Scott are open about the settings of their novels. Your novels in the past have been SF and fantasy. Whether I’ve just hit your one “p*ss off the reader” scene or whether there’s more in the rest of the book I’ll never find out. Bye.
Email screenshot: And before this starts sounding like one of those polished “Hello Author I Represent a Highly Prestigious Book Growth Network” messages that appear in inboxes like they pay rent there… relax 😂 I’m not doing that. I only reach out when I actually read into a book and think: “Yeah… this deserves more attention than it’s probably getting right now.” I’m part of a private community with 1000+ active readers who genuinely enjoy discovering books, reacting like emotionally compromised gremlins, and leaving real Amazon and Goodreads reviews. No pressure, no forced anything. Just readers who actually read.
A grim-faced Asian-American man faces the camera. He is in a senior officer's uniform, wearing gold pilot wings with the center painted red. Behind him, a starship looms over a planet tinted red with starlight.

A table has been set up for Warhammer 40,000 with resin terrain. Two armies one of Dark Angels and one of Adeptus Mechanicus are visible on the board. So is a large tortoiseshell tabby, standing on the table looking curiously at the terrain.
An image of a tall dark-haired man, carrying a sword made of light in one hand and a curious cat with glowing stripes in the other, running away from a burning building. The title of the fake cover is "HOT GUY RESCUES CAT" The blurb text is "Yes, both the cat and the sword are magic"

Six coins in a wooden display stand. The first pair is a commemorative coin for the coronation of Kiera Michelle Alexander from Starships Mage. The front is the mountain on red seal of the Protectorate of Mars, the back gives Kiera's coronation date. The second pair is a shield shaped ship's coin for UPSV Paladin from Peacekeepers of Sol. The front is a white knight's helmet on black, the back is the star-flanked rocket of the United Planets Space Force. The third pair is a ship's coin for Avalon from Castle Federation. The front is a pale hand rising from water. The back is a simple castle surrounded by stars.
Tailless piebald tabby in a purple vest is half on her back, wondering why she isn't getting belly rubs.

Picture of an Amazon delivery box. It contains one 6x9 book. It is big enough to hold at least ten. There is no packing material or anything.
The truth is, the game was rigged from the start.

Freya, a gorgeous tortoiseshell Tabby, sits next to an unassembled cat cave with carpet spread out on the floor. She is clearly wondering why it is unassembled still.

Small box with "Rice Cake with pumpkin and red bean" on it, along with a picture of small slices of mixed brown white and green cake.
Glass jar full of a blend of ingredients intended for hot drinks. There are clear lines delineating the split between coffee, chicory and dandelion, looking like geological strata.
Two cats sitting on the landing of the stairs, looking up expectantly at the human coming downstairs...
Cover of the novel Starship's Mage by Glynn Stewart A young man in a black turtleneck with a gold medallion at his throat stands with his hands spread, reaching up toward a spaceship floating above his hand. Strands of magical power weave across the entire cover, connecting his hands and the starship itself.
