A promotional grid collage set against a solid black background features five published book covers arranged symmetrically around a central cover.

We were wrong." In the upper right, To Conquer Death by Harold Moon features a papyrus scroll background filled with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics behind a dark, fractured metal ankh. In the lower left, The Darker the Skies by Bryan Prosek displays a swirling celestial vortex of blue cosmic lightning and deep space clouds. In the lower right, How to Avoid Book Publishing Blunders by Dr. Judith Briles, "The Book Shepherd," features clean green and purple color blocks with white serif text beneath a round gold Amazon bestseller seal. Overlapping the center of the four corners is the thriller Rhino Horn Underground by Deven Greene, split between a rugged African savanna scene with a white rhinoceros on top and a dark indoor vault below, featuring a severed rhino horn on a pedestal and a blonde woman in a blazer standing nearby.
