"Sensation" Hardcover Pre-Orders - Second Print Run · 3:55pm Jul 19th, 2023

Hi, all!

So... I've had a very strange day. Apparently someone donated a copy of "Sensation" to a free public library, and someone on Tiktok found it. To be super clear: this was irresponsible of the person who donated the book, and they shouldn't have done it. "Sensation" contains adult content, which is why I made everyone certify they were 18+ before they bought it. I wish it wouldn't have happened, but here we are.

All that said, I'm still proud of my queer, sex-positive little horse story about overcoming childhood trauma. A few people were hunting down the old order form from 2018, and since I was planning on doing another print run for Ciderfest this year anyway, let's just make it official:

"Sensation" will have a second print run, available this November.

Find the pre-order form here:

...and please don't give it to a library. :facehoof:

I just saw this and thought of sending you that tiktok :pinkiegasp:

the things that can happen :O

Yeah, a lot of folks have been sending it my way. It's been a VERY weird day.

Life, right? You just put stuff out into the universe and see what happens.

Just Fyi because it was very vague from the tiktok, she clarified in a comment that this is a cafe and this is the little community library there, if that makes it any better.

I agree that this probably shouldn’t have happened, but I still find that hilarious.

I feel like it's quite likely that the person who donated it was not the person who bought it. Us pony book collectors tend to hoard that stuff like gold - I have to imagine it was found by someone else (family member, partner, whatever) who didn't like it or didn't understand it (and either way didn't see the purpose of keeping it around), especially not understanding its mature nature, and deigned to get rid of it.

So many new book opportunities lately. Tryna keep money tight for the book nook at EFNW, but might just have to pick this one up. There aren't nearly enough good quality M/M or Braeburn stories on this site, so I'm definitely hungry for more of both. :raritystarry:

Yeah, nothing to do but smile through the absurdity

Yeah, that seems likely. It makes me sad to think the person wanted the book but couldn't keep it. I hope they're doing okay.

I agree that we need more m/m and Braeburn stories. I hope you can get this one but you're right that there are a lot of books out there. Like being a kid in a candy store.

Saw that pic you commissioned on Derpi and decided to check in. That's really unfortunate and I agree it must have been done by someone who saw ponies and didn't think anything of it. Hope you're doing well!

Thanks, Rock! Which picture, if you don't mind me asking? I've gotten a lot lately. :rainbowlaugh:

And it's all good. The weirdness has passed, and life is beautiful.

I love that one! Sursiq did fantastic with capturing the mood. I'm glad you found it, because it's great to hear from you again. I hope life is treating you well. ^^

Thanks for signing up!

Do you ship to Sweden? I want to pre-order but I don't know what to write as a shipping price in the form. :pinkiesad2:

Yes, I ship internationally, though I'll need some extra time and would appreciate some extra payment for the additional charge. You can see estimates here:

Thanks for asking! I appreciate the courtesy.
