Congratulations to Mia Hutchinson-Shaw, whose richly textured and sympathetic narration of the HOMEMAKER audiobook has been awarded an Earphones Award from @audiofilemagazine.bsky.social! We couldn't agree more with their assessment of Mia's amazing work bringing Prairie Nightingale to life. ❤️

once upon a time... @anniemare.bsky.social

A little Monday-morning love for Prairie from recent readers... If you haven't started the series yet, what are you waiting for? And if you read HOMEMAKER and loved it, recommend it to a friend! :-)

C O V E R R E V E A L — The TV detectives are back this February 24! www.kensingtonbooks.com/978149675134... @anniemare.bsky.social

If you read EVERYONE I KISSED SINCE YOU GOT FAMOUS, you might remember Sam, the hot lawyer, and Robin, his girlfriend who helps Wil and Katie settle their bet about their high school teacher.

Love this — so glad you enjoyed Prairie’s first adventure!

Anyone looking for a nonfiction rec, I enjoyed @ejeancarroll.bsky.social's account of her civil suits against Trimp. Carroll's is a vivid & distinctive voice, w/humor & insight that gains powerful momentum. It's an unusual book in such a good way. static.macmillan.com/static/smp/n...

The subject line of this morning's @shelf-awareness.com newsletter is "tender, loving spies" — a nod to IF I TOLD YOU, I'D HAVE TO KISS YOU "cleverly turning many tropes of the espionage genre on their heads." Thrilled! shelf-awareness.com/sar-issue.ht... @anniemare.bsky.social

Happy release day to our sapphic spies, Yardley and KC! This book is an unapologetic love poem to hyperbole, drama-drama, costumes and accents, and most of all to learning *how* to love the woman you fell for at first sight. Happy reading, darlings! read.macmillan.com/lp/if-i-told...

It’s Prairie Nightingale’s book birthday today, and our feelings are big and difficult to describe, so here is a video with actual real things that alive humans said about HOMEMAKER, which is a dream come true for real @anniemare.bsky.social

You haven't lived until you've heard Mia Hutchinson-Shaw say "a few Coach bags" in her Wisconsin accent. Her acting is divine, and it really makes HOMEMAKER shine. @anniemare.bsky.social & I have Netgalley widgets for audio review copies, so if you're interested, hit us up

EEP, just three weeks until our darling Yardley Whitmer & KC Nolan hit bookshelves everywhere & y'all learn just how absolutely dumb these characters can be about love while also being crackerjack spies bit.ly/ifitoldyousmp

Annie & I are dying over how many readers are finding and loving our new Prairie Nightingale series. This book was on submission a long time and went through so many "almosts" (& sooo many rejections) to get to this moment of having over 1,000 ratings & 4.3 / 5 stars — it's everything, everything.

We put up the full epub of BREATHTAKING on our Patreon, so if you're interested in reading the love story of an unhinged, anxious city planner & a tea farmer who have been hooking up for a decade & now have to deal w/their Actual Feelings, you can join or buy for $7! www.patreon.com/posts/128774...

Making the main problem of HP inspired books that they’re fanfic to published, and that it will cause legal problems with the copyright holder lol, is really something.

Happy book day to us!!! 🧜‍♀️ I have fallen down on every front promoting this, because life has been... life and I'm barely clinging to a cliff's edge by my broken fingernails over here. But we wrote a book, and it's coming out, and I love Aleksi, Naia, and Einar. 💓 I hope y'all love them too!

Six days into this wild ride, & you guys really seem to be loving Prairie Nightingale! The ratings and rankings are a dream come true. @anniemare.bsky.social & I have been waiting 5 years and our whole lives for this to happen.

Couldn't be more thrilled! amzn.to/44NDTVy And if you haven't met Prairie yet, here is a small taste...

Well, that’s a fun way to start the morning!

Cricket & Bee's reviews of If I Told You, I'd Have To Kiss You! read.macmillan.com/lp/if-i-told...

Here's Prairie, glamorous atop the pile of laundry I have to get started. My excitement for this release lives alongside the mundane chores of our daily life—and that's how it is for Prairie, too, as she learns to be a detective in between picking up prescription cat food & yet another IEP meeting.

Mike & Taylor have been hooking up for ten years and have never talked about their feelings. They are the dumbest dumdums of any romance I've ever written, and I love them BREATHTAKING — www.patreon.com/c/AnnieandRu...

Last couple of days for the giveaway of Desperate Demon! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

I have been listening to @kimberlylemming.bsky.social's latest on audiobook & Toto is giving me serious LION from Steven Universe vibes that make me adore him

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

Feeling bleak over here today & will accept cheering up in the form of Patreon follows. There's a free & paid tier, & it delights us when someone joins. We could use a bit of delight in this neck of the woods. Tax day + the collapse of democracy is a lot. www.patreon.com/AnnieandRuth...

Look at this fun teaser! Our sapphic spies are coming soon!!!!! @anniemare.bsky.social

To celebrate @anniemare.bsky.social & me turning in our last big revision of several in a row, we put 2 chaps of BREATHTAKING up on Patreon! Join our paid tier to read this spicy low-key het romance w/an unhinged FMC and a cinnamon roll Wisconsin farmer MMC. www.patreon.com/c/AnnieandRu...

Prairie got a nice Publisher's Weekly review calling her "lovably eccentric," which is what you call a woman who talked her ex into forming an LLC & paying her a salary to run their co-parenting household so she never has to do unpaid emotional labor ever again. We just call her our favorite.
