(Left) The cover of She Hunts Demons, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

Sitting on the roof of a building in New York City is a teenage girl wearing an old, black dress, fingerless, elbow-length black gloves and a battered, black top hat, with a blue rose attached to the band. The tearing of her clothes hints that she's recently been in a fight. Her hair is short, but messy. Her eyes are blue.

In her hands is a wakizashi, a short sword of Japanese design. The tsuba, or hilt guard, is in the shape of an opening, blue rose. The blade shines blue.

The image is black and white, aside from the details in blue, hinting at film-noir influences in the art.

(Right) An image of a dog with glowing, red eyes, with the following text laid over it:

“Will we ever be safe again?”

“Your people call you traitor, as do mine. Hunted by Heaven and Hell alike, there’s nowhere we could turn for peace.”

“Will our daughter ever know peace?”

“I pray she will.”

(Bottom) https://books2read.com/SheHuntsDemons

$(Background) A fractal pattern of red and orange that resembles a demonic portal. (Center) Pride needs a half-demon to stabilize the portal between worlds. There’s just one hitch: she hates him. One stubborn half-demon vs. all of demon-kind? It could go either way... (Top Left) The cover of She Hunts Demons, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

The second is is covered in greasepaint and a military uniform, who leans on an AK-47 for support. He looks through a pair of binoculars. The third is huge and has the head of a cat, with black fur and green eyes. He also wears a military uniform. (Bottom Right) The cover of the novel, Demon for President!, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson. Two politicians shake hands, as if for a photo-op, while a city burns behind them and the flag of the United States waves in the smoke. The flag is obviously quite dirty. The democrat on the left is in a dark suit and blue tie. He has blond hair and wears brass-framed glasses. His expression is fairly serious. The republican on the right is also blond, but his expression is a smile. He wears a gray suit, a red tie and brass-framed glasses. The two men are very similar in appearance, because they're brothers. (Top Right) The cover of the book bundle, Ashen Blades: Open Wounds, by Owen Tyme, which includes volumes one through three of Ashen Blades. The cover consists of a Japanese sword with a black hilt wrapping, an M1911 pistol and a pineapple grenade lying on a somewhat rough wooden surface composed of five vertically oriented boards that have a dark stain.$

(Left) The cover of The Most Powerful Words, by Owen Tyme, which consists of a temperate forest path in twilight, with a tree on the right side, which hangs over the path. At the base of the tree is a translucent, blue slime monster, with shiny, black eyes that give it a somewhat cute appearance, while the shadow that's visible at its base almost looks like a big mouth. The air has an almosty golden look, because there's a hint of fog in it. The cover is framed with beveled stone.

(Right) The background is a bookcase with three shelves that are filled with old-looking books. Some have bookmark ribbons that stick off the edge, adding a little color. The books are largely brown, with ribbed spines. The following quote is laid over it:

“There are words so powerful, they can shake the foundations of reality or alter the fate of the world.”

“The most powerful words of all can change a man’s heart and mind about old, incorrect beliefs.”

The cover of Princess of Kurg, by Owen Tyme.

The background is a spiral galaxy with a pink color, which has been divided into hexagonal jigsaw puzzle pieces.

Near the top is an attractive woman's face framed by light blond hair that's almost colorless. She has blue eyes and looks directly ahead. Around the edges of her face, she fades away, allowing the background to be seen to either side of her head.

Below her is a group of seven hexagonal brassy coins arranged in a circular fashion, each showing a different scene at the center.

The central coin shows blood spatter on a black background. The top one has a red-haired fairy with insect wings, in a dress that looked like an upturned red flower. She stands in a forest with glowing points of light along the forest floor. Upper right shows the eye of a pink-scaled dragon. Lower right shows a monkey in a tree, eating a banana. The bottom shows a white swan floating in water, beside a reflection of the moon. Lower left is a smiling snail with little red hearts near its head. Upper left displays an alien saucer ship beaming someone into it, presumably an abduction in progress.

(Left) The cover of She Seeks Peace, by Owen Tyme.

The background is a snow-capped, craggy mountain with green, grassy hills at its base, which feature yellow and blue flowers.

The foreground is dominated by the round symbol for peace, in gold. Along the bottom of it are two olive branches. At the top is a dove in flight. Arranged on the lower three spokes of it are three figures based on the AIGA symbol for a woman. The figure on the right is blue. The one in the middle is a very dark gray, bordering on black, which includes a top hat. The figure on the left is red and has horns, like a demon.

(Right) The background is a view from the interior of a gun's barrel, with the rifling very apparent and the following quote over the top:

Reggie looked down the barrel of one of his own pistols, which the girl held in both hands, because the M1911 was a little large for someone so small.

There was a long, silent moment as the girl giggled and met his gaze. The murderous look was gone, replaced by something more playful, like a cat toying with a mouse.

(Left) The cover of The Next Horizon, by Owen Tyme.

The black silhouette of a man and woman embracing. They stand atop the dark side of a planet or moon in space, which has a slim crescent along the right side. The background is the stars of space, but some have been highlighted with a heart shape that surrounds the couple. Everything is in shades of blue.

(Right) Deep space, displaying the edge of an orange and blue gaseous cloud from a nebula, while most of the stars appear golden in color. Floating in space is a square, red leather book with the image of a newt stamped on the cover. Over the top of everything is the following text:

“You can back down and cooperate, right now, or Marta will hit you so hard, you should reach a tenth the speed of light…”

“No one will ever find you again, but even if someone does, there’s no way they’ll have the capacity to safely slow you down, before you’re gone to them!”

People, especially games, get eldritch madness wrong a lot and it’s
really such a shame.

An ant doesn't start babbling when they see a circuit board. They find
it strange, to them it is a landscape of strange angles and humming
monoliths. They may be scared, but that is not madness.

Madness comes when the ant, for a moment, can see as a human
does.

It understands those markings are words, symbols with meaning, like
a pheromone but infinitely more complex. It can travel unimaginable
distances, to lands unlike anything it has seen before. It knows of
mirth, embarrassment, love, concepts unimaginable before this
moment, and then...

It's an ant again.

Echoes of things it cannot comprehend swirl around its mind. It
cannot make use of this knowledge, but it still remembers. How is it
supposed to return to its life? The more the ant saw the harder it is
for it to forget. It needs to see it again, understand again. It will do
anything to show others, to show itself, nothing else in this tiny world
matters.

This is madness.

Sample page from Starwitch.

(Left) The cover of Starwitch, by Owen Tyme.

In the background is a red, orange and white nebula.

In the foreground is a line drawing of a red spotted newt, in white. The lines of the newt are outlined in black, to help it stand out. The interior is red, with an appearance similar to stained glass.

(Right) In the background is a red and orange galaxy, with a blue core, which bears a resemblance to an eye. It has the following text over it:

“First you turn my dog against me, then you steal my ship’s core? What’s next, pulling my teeth?”

“We didn’t ask for this! You attacked us! Why don’t you just let us go?”

“I might as well cover myself in tartar sauce, then go swimming in shark infested waters! My lieutenants would tear me to shreds, just the same!”
