The image shows the ebook cover of The Floating Castle against a glowing moon with flowers draped on the top left and right corners of the image. 

Image reads: March 8, Happy International Women's Day! 

To celebrate all of the women I so deeply cherish and love, I am pricing the ebook for The Floating Castle—my dark, epic fantasy that centers women—to *FREE today and TODAY ONLY. Get the ebook while you can! 

*Amazon will not allow me to set my book to free, as I do not exclusively sell my book through them and they strongly dislike that, so you’ll be able to find my book there for $0.99 instead. Some retailers may choose not to honor my price change, check your favorite retailer for specific pricing.
