01/07/2025! Save the date, because we'll be jetting off into the next addition in the Sweet & Savory Series! 🇫🇷💕 (New book means new emojis!)
I plan to slowly start revealing more and more to you all and the first stop? Well, a title would be a good place to start!😉

Sawyer and Avory art!☕️🖤
I thought some art would be an amazing way to show my gratitude for you all! I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who grabbed a copy of Sorry, We're Closed during the PRIDE month sale!🏳️‍🌈

Words have been really hard to string together for how grateful I am for all of the support on Sorry, We're Closed, but could these themed emojis around every book as an early hint help?☕️🖤🇫🇷💕🍞🍰

RELEASE DAY!☕️🖤
I can't believe that SWC is out in the world, and I am forever grateful for any person who made this happen. Whether apart of the process of creating the book itself or supporting its creation every step of the way, from the bottom of my overwhelmed little heart, thank you!☕️🖤

Tyler Whittaker | queer writing🏳️‍🌈 @whatistylerwriting.bsky.social · Apr 27

I can't believe that Sorry, We're Closed will be out in the world tomorrow!🥹
I am forever grateful for every single person who has ever shown love and support for Sawyer and Avory's story, and to think that anyone will be able to get their hands on their journey tomorrow is so surreal!☕️🖤

A huge thank you to the amazing @whatistylerwriting.bsky.social for this book box for his debut novel Sorry, We're Closed! I'm so excited to get stuck in to it!

Plus the art is all GORGEOUS (there's another piece that's nsfw, guess you'll have to go look yourselves ;) ) 💚

The contents of a book box spread on green tissue paper. A beautiful book with two men, one embracing the other from behind on the cover, a print of the two men with a gentle lilac background, two adorable chibi stickers, and a business card for Tyler with his socials!

I am struggling to believe that Sorry, We're Closed is only 2 weeks away! I remember starting this account when I hadn't even started the first draft, and now, in only fourteen days, Sawyer and Avory will be out in the world!☕️🖤
