A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported the fun A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported the fundraiser for CANMN, organized by authors and bookish Minnesotans. We far exceeded our goals and raised more than $40,000, which will help @communityaidnetworkmn provide food, diapers, and supplies to Minnesota families, some of whom must shelter in place right now, for months to come. Today is the last day to enter my giveaway, so if you donated, don't forget to send me a screenshot so I can add your name to the drawing tomorrow! As a reminder the prizes are my book of your choice, a special edition hardcover of Howl's Moving Castle, and a $50 bookstore gift card (B&N, Bookshop.org, or Magers & Quinn). Of course, it's hard to celebrate this accomplishment when another innocent Minnesotan was murdered this weekend. If you would like to do more to help, please check out Stand with Minnesota for dozens more ways to support us in our time of need. @standwithminnesota #minnesota #fundraiser #helpminnesota #minneapolis #bookishgiveaway
Things are tough in Minnesota right now, and I'm t Things are tough in Minnesota right now, and I'm teaming up with other MN authors and bookish people to help! 📚 Join us in supporting Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota right now through a fundraiser for Community Aid Network. CANMN has been active in the Twin Cities area for years and supports 200-300 families with food, diapers, and supplies. Their need has increased this month with so many people unable to leave their homes. Our goal is to raise $10,000, which would cover one month of expenses for the organization. 🫶🪷 As an extra incentive, I'm offering a prize package for one lucky winner which includes a signed paperback (or audiobook) of one of my books, a special edition of Howls Moving Castle, and a $50 gift card (your choice--Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org or the Minneapolis bookstore Magers & Quinn). To enter, donate $10 or more to CANMN and DM me a screenshot of your donation. You can donate via Venmo or PayPal. Winner will be randomly selected on Jan 26th. Not affiliated with Meta, US only, 18+ only. Thanks to @communityaidnetworkmn for the work they're doing and to @maryeroachauthor for organizing! And thank you all in advance for helping out our communities in Minnesota! #minneapolis #bookishgiveaway #bookstagram #minnesota #readersofinstagram
I'm super late posting, but I want to thank @gwpro I'm super late posting, but I want to thank @gwprouse.books so much for the street team goodies!

I loved being a part of this street team and shouting about this wonderful fantasy romance that cleverly combines Peter Pan with the Hades & Persephone myth! you won't want to miss this one! 📚🧚‍♀️ . #bookstagram #streetteam #fantasyromance #indiebooks #peterpanretelling

Thanks to everyone who supported my books this year 🫶📚 Here's to a great 2026! 🎉 #authorgoals #2025wrapped #indieauthorsofinstagram #authorlife #indiebooks
