The image is square with a light blue background, with almost entirely transparent pink clouds sporadically placed. On the left, taking up nearly half the image, is the cover for the book Sweet Home Alabarden Park by TJ O’Shea. On the right is white cursive script which reads Sweet Home Alabarden Park. Below that is sans serif dark red text that reads, in all caps, Out Now! Below is a cartoon drawing of a black cat in profile doing a downward dog yoga stretch, with some light pink clouds behind her.

HELLO #sapphic romance friends. My latest, queer as hell romance, SWEET HOME ALABARDEN PARK, comes out this month! Below is a short sneaky peeky.

Sweet Home Alabarden Park is out exclusively on Bella Books March 13th here: bit.ly/SHAP_TJO

and out everywhere March 18th: mybook.to/jnQo2
A promotional image for the book Sweet Home Alabarden Park. The background is a slightly transparent ivy-covered red brick wall. Layered on it is the book's cover, featuring two white women leaning against a short brick fence, staring adoringly at each other. There is a black cat rubbing the leg of one of the women. The text describes the book's tropes. Sweet and spicy, "darlin'" and "darling", mental health rep, CAT, grumpy-sunshine, and somewhat voluntary forced proximity. There is more text that says to slide for a sneak preview, with a dotted line and arrow above it. The image background is a slightly transparent ivy-covered red brick wall. Inside a cedar-colored text box is an excerpt from the book Sweet Home Alabarden Park, written in white text. It reads: Their arms brushed, and she gazed into Alice’s eyes. At similar heights and neither in a lifted shoe, Fiona matched Alice’s intense eye contact directly at her level. “After the party, once the majority of my work here concludes, we could…perhaps I might be ready. Could you wait until then? Am I asking too much of you?” Alice huffed out a humorless little laugh and scuffed her shoes against the gravel. “Darlin’, I’m afraid to admit how much you could ask me for. I can, and will, wait until you’re ready.” “How will I…I feel a fool for even asking, but how will I know if I’m ready?” Alice swiped her tongue across her lower lip, inviting Fiona’s gaze to her mouth. “I don’t know. But I do know one day you’re gonna kiss me again, and when you do, you’re going to feel what I feel every time I look at you. Maybe then.” Fiona’s eyes snapped up. Alice’s voice had roughened and lowered, so seductive and dominating Fiona nearly wilted on the spot. A moment or two of stillness passed, but it felt like ages. “You’re making it incredibly difficult not to kiss you right now.” “Good.”
