image is text over a sparkly black background. it reads "code red, c. p. ashton" "Scarlet scowled at the objectively punchable face of Logan O’Connell—all twelve of them. The entire wall was lined with televisions, and Logan was on every single one as he prepared to hold an emergency press conference. She was far too hungover and not nearly caffeinated enough to deal with his bullshit this morning." "featured in not your ever after" "coming November 6th"

Image is a mood board in vibrant reds and greens for Code Red by C. P. Ashton. A blond woman’s face is partially covered by a red jacket hood. There is a vivid biohazard sign, a city overtaken by plants behind red tape, iridescent white flowers, a microscope and plant specimens, a clock, and a computer screen with neon green code.
