@dawnprochovnic.bsky.socialAt last check on WorldCat, Mama's Home (and Baby Too!) was only on order in SEVEN LIBRARIES world wide.

@dawnprochovnic.bsky.socialA little ask for today's countdown: Please consider requesting Mama's Home (and Baby Too!) from your local library. Most allow you to periodically request materials (many have a spot on their website where you can log into your account and make the request remotely). @familiusbooks.bsky.social
@dawnprochovnic.bsky.socialThank you to everyone who has already supported this book w/ a pre-order (or 2, or 3!), and for everyone who has supported my work by liking/sharing my (abundant!) posts this past wk. I see you and I appreciate you!! Mama's Home (and Baby Too!) on shelves Oct 13! @familiusbooks.bsky.social
@dawnprochovnic.bsky.socialPlease consider giving your local indie a visit or a call (or in some cases you can even pre-order online). You can also stay home in your jammies and preorder online via @bookshop.org .
@dawnprochovnic.bsky.socialPre-ordering a book is one of the best gifts you can give to an author. Why? Pre-orders get tallied in 1st week sales. Strong early sales help a book find its footing in the market. AND if you pre-order from an indie, you up the impact of your gift by helping a sm biz in your area make ends meet!
@dawnprochovnic.bsky.socialDon't have a young person in your life? Please consider pre-ordering Mama's Home (and Baby too!) anyhow, and re-gifting it to an organization such as the Children's Book Bank or Northwest Children's outreach--or even dropping it into a @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social in your neighborhood!
@dawnprochovnic.bsky.socialWowza! It's the last weekend before this new book baby of mine hits bookstore shelves--and there's no better time to pre-order this book if you haven't already. @familiusbooks.bsky.social
