🎉BIG NEWS🎉 Preorders are officially open!! The past couple of days have been surreal. I've met so many great folks on here, I just got my Goodreads Author badge, and my ebook ARC readers have already started reading these words that I have poured so much of myself into. You can preorder your copy today (check out my website in my bio) and all preorder folks will get extra goodies like art, bookmarks, and stickers by me! I love these characters so much and I hope they worm their way into your hearts, too.

To everyone who has already ordered a copy, I am giving you a big kiss through the phone!

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE. Dispatches from my arc team 😂 sorry babies. There's a lot of grief in this book, but also a whole lot of triumph and love.

Sure, Ivor's a baddie, but can you handle his red flags (and his 6'4 boyfriend)? If you still want to shoot your shot, leave a comment and make your case. Shout out @t.g.willow.author for the fun idea 😈 (Art by me!)

One month of TSAW launch and bookstagram membership is in the books, as it were 💙Just wanted to say another huge thank you to everyone who's come aboard on this adventure with me! I love the people I've met along the way and the support I'm getting on this book that I am so excited to share. I'm sort of bowled over by it every day. I worked so hard on this book and getting to share it after all this time is really special. Thank you for being here! See you in Teramil 🌃

A little more Ivor art by me as a treat 😈 You knowwww you wanna read about him. And if you all play your cards right, there might be a TSAW Patr3on account for art and comics in your future 😉

Felt really awesome to take my book in its final form to the place where I wrote so much of it! (And where I'm currently writing its sequel 👀) Endlessly grateful to @habitatcoffeehouse for giving me and my friends our most favorite place to write and laugh and drink great coffee multiple times per week. Had to shout the shop out in the acknowledgements of my book as well! My little home away from home run by awesome, creative people. Philly gang, go get a cortado and thank me later! by @maddiedistasioauthor

Do you love the beautiful song on this post?? Well GOOD, because it's by the supremely talented, kind, and beautiful @tiahzuzulo who also wrote this arc review of TSAW (we're making the acronym happen, y'all). Tiah is sunshine personified and a brilliant singer/somgwriter. All people of taste, follow my friend who works really hard to create beautiful art that she so kindly shares with the world. Thank you for your thoughts on this lil book of mine and for supporting me with your endless well of goodness from the moment we met! It's only up for both of us 💕 I just know it by @maddiedistasioauthor

Join my street team! This community has already been so amazing and I'd love to work together to spread the word about TSAW in the lead-up to pub day in February and beyond. Head on over to my bio to apply 💙💜

World, meet Elio! Affectionately known as Ellie, this gentle giant is warm, loving, and has been in love with his best friend Ivor since the second they met but he really, really doesn't want to mess things up by acting on those feelings. He's a gym bro and a soft boy, an equestrian and a physics nerd. He would do anything to protect the people (and the mare with an attitude problem) that he loves. All art by me!
