This is a quote from THREE'S THE SEASON, my offering for this year's RevPit. The quote that I pulled from my manuscript is, ""I mean I think you're crazy because we went to law school together when Four Lokkos were still legal. But this," Dax gestures towards the tri-board and then to the hole in the wall. "is understandable."" The quote is on a beige background and framed by a red Christmas ornament on the bottom left and a Santa hat on the top right to allude to the Christmas setting of the book.

Two pictures one of three hands and the other of three forks, allude to the polyamorous themes of the novel.

A movie poster with a purple background with gold starry splotches. The silhouettes of two men in opposite corners stare ardently at each other. The text at the top reads Achellian Romance, Cozy Fantasy, Second Chances. Then the title of the work in the middle "After the Lich Queen's Demise". Then the log line: When one hero's journey ends his life will begin. A (mostly) query ready novel by Alyse Pollock.
Graphic of a poster for the #PosterPit It is done in the style of a movie poster but the words have been changed to be about a work in progress An image of two people dancing in Regency era clothing against a purple floral background The top reads, Queer Romance, Regency Era, Positive Polyamory. Below that is the working title 'Bohemian Like You' in elegant script. Underneath the image of the couple dancing is the log line "She's out of options and he's out of time. What could go wrong?" Justified in the center of the page right at the bottom is "Work in Progress" by Alyse Pollock, and in italics coming soon.
Pictured is a screenshot of A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall. A Regency era blonde gentleman dressed in a blue great coat holding a woman dressed in a beautiful yellow empire waisted gown as wind blows gently at her skirts. Her brown hair is piled high on her head in a bun as windsweapt curls frame her face turned into the man. A little red ribbon is tied at her throat. She stares ardently into her lover's eyes as a small smile tugs at the gentleman's mouth. I mean it's a romance novel cover what did you expect?
