Summary
My name is Terece Hahn and I am the author of Attached. I wrote this book because I finally remembered what I wanted to be when I grew up, an author. Books brought me back to myself and I feel I have a story to tell that might do the same for others. Also, I am a recovering people-pleaser and self-development enthusiast so wanted to do something that was authentically me, as I am, the good, the bad, and the deep. How I wanted to express it was through the art form of the written word.
Attached is about a resilient head strong mountain woman named Ellie who's only sense of worthiness comes from protecting her sisters and living life in the mountains.
Ellie bucks societal norms to survive the harshness of the 1800s and believes this is the life she is destined to live and all she deserves.
Until one fatal day when everything changes.
You will love this book if you enjoy 1883 TV shows or Taylor Sheridan’s writing, Shameless (American version), Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, and Glass Castle by Janette Wells.
This is for the adult folks with adult situations and experiences. People in the 1800s had a life expectancy of ~40 years old, so Ellie as a 20-year-old has already settled into her ways and thinks like most 30-year-olds. Attached has love, lust, loss, forgiveness, horse races, searching for gold, and a love triangle that is sure to get you going. If you are into escapism with enlightenment, Attached is for you.
I really look forward to sharing my book with my readers!

Here is the fun part/ What you will specifically get.
Book + Event
By supporting my publishing journey, you’ll get a ticket to an upcoming (think October 2022) book event. I want to celebrate this accomplishment with you. I want to plan the best events for you all, so be aware that the details of each event will be finalized depending on how many tickets I sell.
Here are some ways I want to celebrate with you:
- Celebrate in local businesses in locations like Spokane, WA, and/or Newport, WA (with online streaming options); depending on number of guests involved.
- Enjoy light refreshments and good drinks.
- Learn more about the publishing journey and my book.
- Catch up with new and old friends.
Plus you’ll be getting a fresh off the press, first edition, signed copy of my book. As an attendee, you’ll automatically become a part of my Author Community, get a behind-the-scenes look at my publishing journey, and additional perks prior to the event.
Dates and locations will be solidified in July 2022. We will ensure in-person events meets local safety and health guidelines so we can party, bond, and catch up. If you came to our wedding you know Steven, my husband, and I can put on a celebration for all.
If you pick one of the bundle packages then you will get a ticket to the community event PLUS a ticket to the more exclusive events.

The Impact
Campaign Goals
Tier 1: When I hit $7,500, the ebook/softcover editions get published (this is the minimum needed).
Tier 2: When I hit $8,500, the book will get a hardcover edition.
Tier 3: When I hit $10,500, the book will get a hardcover and audiobook edition.
International Preorders
For international preorders, please do the following:
Identify the perk that interests you
Select the pink "Back it" button to "Make a contribution" for the same amount (this choice bypasses the shipping address page)
Use this link to fill out the Google Doc From https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10uGMTqVrtzLhQG...
Share your mailing address, so I can calculate the international shipping costs and invoice you for that amount via PayPal/Venmo, the package you want, and event preference.
Risks & Challenges
The biggest challenge with publishing a book is delivering the finished book to the backer, specifically my mailing of the book to you. I have eliminated this risk by building into the campaign the mailing and shipping costs of your signed copies to you within each pre-order tier. For international backers, please see the section above.
The risk of delivering the pre-sale copies of my book is contingent on the publisher we use. I will be working closely with New Degree Press to make sure we get the earliest possible ship date of the signed book copy to you. We will keep all pre-sale backers up-to-date as my book hits each key milestone and publishes. You will know when the copies are expected to ship.
Other Ways You Can Help
Not everyone can support, but that doesn't mean you can't get something out of it!
I will reward the top 3 people who refer the most backers at the end of the campaign (30 days).
Here's how:At the top of the campaign page, you will see the "share" buttons. Click on the "chain" icon to get a custom link just for you. (Note: don't use the URL in the browser window as it won't work to track referrals and you won't get credit ?)
Copy that link and paste it on your social media, email it to a friend, or text a fellow book lover.
When someone clicks on that link and backs the book, you get 1 entry!
Please use #Attached2022 and tag me as well as my publisher, New Degree Press, so we can help amplify your efforts!
