Hello, my Wylde-lings!

In simpler words, I'm F--ED! Why? Because I forgot that you can only delay a pre-order for exactly 30 days, and I thought I could push Thing of Ruin to February next year to give myself plenty of time to luxuriate in writing this story that I'm absolutely obsessed with. Turns out... the furthest I could push it was to... December 28.

So, there you go! You should be happy about it, cause you're definitely getting this book on December 28. What this means for me is that I will not take days off until release day.

But, hey! I might be crying now, but YOU will be crying in December, when you read this book and it absolutely destroys you. *evil laugh*

Anyway, don't worry about me. I'm a fast writer, and I've done this before. I just haven't done it in a while, and I need to remember that I'm a badass author and I've got this.

Because one cannot be efficient without also procrastinating on a regular basis, I decided to make a TikTok account for the main character, where he can share his songs with everyone.

In the book, our hero - Rune - writes songs for our heroine - Seraphina. So of course I took it upon myself to make sure everyone knows how much he worships her.

So far, there are two songs, and you can check them out on the Thing of Ruin TikTok below.

If you're on TikTok, give him a follow and a heart? And if you're a booktoker, it would make my day so much if you used the sounds for a post or two.

I'm sharing art and teasers on my own TikTok and Instagram, so make sure you follow me there.
