Get the deal here.

I've used this for self published book covers as well as social media posts. I find it has a good selection and is much more safe and reliable (in terms of proper licensing) than the completely free places. 

Image from DPIt has both photos and illustrations, and you can search for photos with no people or a certain number of people, and identify the gender, age range, and ethnicity. It also has flat lays – images shot from above with carefully arranged objects like flowers or holiday items, with space in the middle to add your book cover or text.

Now it's added an AI generator, which may or may not be a good thing depending on your current views, but obviously you don't have to use it. I asked if it was possible to exclude AI generated images from the search and got this response: "We do not accept AI-generated images from our authors. So you can feel free to browse the collection. If you have any doubts about any image, you may provide its ID so we can check it with the content team to be 100% sure."

A #NewRelease alert - An anthology of stories about fallen angels, with Lovecraftian #fantasy and #horror

Fallen

Fall from grace…

In a twist of fate, these angels have done the unforgivableand have been kicked out. Some are left to roam freely while they plot theirrevenge. Some are immediately given a new job as a form of punishment. Some areeven innocent and try to prove it themselves. But can any of them find theirnew purpose in the end?

Featuring stories by Michael Paige, Matthew Fryer, BrunoLombardi, Barend Nieuwstraten III, Kelly Barker, A.E. Lowan, C.L. Hart, andJ.E. Feldman.

Get Fallen here.

Here's one Story Description for "Of Outer Gods and Fallen Angels":

Gerry Clifford appears to be simply a small, frail older manwho has fallen victim to early-onset dementia.

Yadira Root appears to be an impossibly ancient woman whovolunteers her time at the care center where people like Gerry live out theirfinal days.

A conversation between the pair reveals unexpected truthsabout both of them.

The author, C. L. Hart, the owner and sole employee of NaughtyNetherworld Press, is spoken of in hushed tones. She is described as The MadScribe of the Northeastern Colorado Plains, The Terrible Old Woman, and TheAuthor That Should Not Be.

When not penning sanity-destroying works of dystopianfiction, Lovecraftian fantasy, or old-school horror with the occasional sweetromance thrown in to upset the cosmic apple cart, Ms. Hart enjoys creatingbaked goods she hopes will be considered palatable.

Ms.Hart shares a home in a remote rural town of 134 souls with her adult son andthree cats. Her sense of fashion is best described as Early Twenty-FirstCentury Unmade Bed. This disabled former nurse can usually be found arguingwith herself about subplots or rehabilitating eldritch horrors.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story is fun andI had several laugh-out-loud moments – really out loud! It also passed the ‘I'mawake in the middle of the night so I'll read test’ because then I stayed upfor 4 - 5 hours reading and didn't actually sleep.” – reader review

Quick Excerpt:

The cat Lydia started winding aroundWilliam’s ankles. He grimaced, looking as if a stranger was trying to use hisshirt as a handkerchief.

“See, she likes you!” Carolinesquealed.

“I swear that cat is boy crazy,”Jade said. “She’ll take attention from anyone, but if there’s a man around,she’ll ignore every woman in the room.”

“I’m really more of a dog person,”William muttered.

Well, that explained it. Liz likeddogs too. And cats and rabbits and ferrets and rats. Also monkeys, lemurs, redpandas, tree kangaroos, otters, elephants, dolphins, and just about every otheranimal.

Except for people. She didn’t alwayshave a high opinion of them.

Liz scooped up Lydia. “I’ll distracther for a while. It looks like your drinks are here.” She jerked her chintoward the door as Dustin came in with a tray.

Lydia squirmed and meowed, wantingto get back to pestering the handsome man. Liz strode to the far side of theroom and deposited Lydia on top of a cat tree. “Behave yourself,” Liz muttered.“You don’t want a guy like that anyway. A dogs-only person!”

Lydia sat up and began grooming,ostentatiously ignoring Liz.

Liz huffed out a breath. “Don’tbother making yourself pretty for some man. If he doesn’t adore you at yourworst, he’s not worth it.”

“Reallyenjoyable story. I love these stories from The Cat Cafe. Two different couplestake center stage here. Jade and Carl hit it off right from the start. Williamand Liz have lots of issues to deal with between them. Had fun reading thisone. Great characters and engaging storyline.” – reader review

Quick Peek:

“How long doyou think you’ll need to get Larry out?” he asked.

“Fiveminutes? That will seem like forever to you, but we may need every second.”

We couldn’tsee the house well from where we were, but I pictured it in my mind. The frontwalk led up to an alcove. The front door was set at least five feet back inthat alcove. No one at the front door could see the gate opening, but theymight hear us if we tried to cross the rocky front yard, especially if Larrywas confused and asking questions.

“We’ll stopinside the gate on our way out,” I said. “If you’re still arguing, I’ll callyour phone. Make sure Pamela closes the door as you leave. Then we’ll all headfor the cars.”

Dad pulledout his phone and tipped his head back so he could study the screen through thelower part of his trifocals. He tapped it a few times and stuck it in hispocket. “All right. I’ll feel it vibrate.”

“We used tohave to pay good money for that kind of thing,” Clarence said.

“Clarence,turn the car around now,” I said. “When we come out, pull up to the house nextto Larry’s. Stay out of sight of any of Pamela’s windows.”

“I’ll givethem the slip!” Clarence said. “We’ll go on the lam. We’ll peach that golddigger and put her in the big house with a pair of silver bracelets.”

“You’ve beenwatching gangster movies again,” Joe said.

“Right. Ialways wanted to be a lookout man.”

“Concentrate,people. Everyone know the plan?” I looked at each of them. “Now, let’s kidnapyour friend.”

“I love the characters in this series and lookforward to reading the next book in the series. The author has a way of pullingyou in from the very start and holding your attention until the last words areread.” – Amazon
