ACCIDENTALLY… A NEW BOOK?

Unlike your younger sibling, this book was no accident, but, like your younger sibling, we need your help to for it to grow 🫶 We know October is a ways away, but preorders help out our tiny team immensely and mean a lot in the book publishing world — and we have some super special things planned for our pre-orderers! (see: giveaways, trips, free super special merch, etc.) So it would mean the absolute world to us if you might consider preordering your copy today and perhaps sharing with a friend or two. Every book makes a massive difference, so thank you, thank you, thank you for your support! ❤️
