Hi! I'm Camille. I only write stories that could never ever happen in real life, though I do believe in real-life magic. If we were in the same room I'd fix you a cup of tea, but for now we'll have to settle for a virtual connection. I'm really glad you're here.

It was an actual thrill to come home after several

It was an actual thrill to come home after several days away and find my golden beets doing so well! This week I’ll show my niece how to harvest the greens. I highly recommend indoor container gardening—growing your own food in less-than-ideal conditions is so empowering! I’m fortunate to have enough room for these roughneck tote “beds,” but they’re not essential. (Also see my office-hours video on watching things grow when you’re feeling stuck.) #plantstagram #indoorgarden #containergardening

Here's a list of #bonesandall video topics so far.

Here's a list of #bonesandall video topics so far. Ask more Qs in the comments and I'll either fold them into a topic on this list or add another video! Hoping to have this up on my #youtube channel sometime in August.

A couple reasons for an unlisted part-two: I'm going to be sharing some pretty personal stuff, which I want to save for readers who are genuinely interested (troll-free zone!! 🤪); and I also really like to have goodies for subscribers. It's free, of course, and I send out emails once a month max. (Also note that all future bookplate mailings will happen via this list.) Signup link in bio.

#tfw the notes your author-bookseller friends tuck

#tfw the notes your author-bookseller friends tucked in your special orders 5+ years ago give you a little shimmer of happiness all over again 🥰🥰🥰 #writinglife #authorsofinstagram (@marikamccoola, is that yours on the right?)

Paperback update: the reprint is delayed, but it i

Paperback update: the reprint is delayed, but it is coming! Apparently some preposterous persons are attempting to sell secondhand (unsigned) copies for anywhere from $50 to $900 (!!!!!) on Amazon marketplace. Please please please don’t spend more than $10.99 on a paperback copy!! (That’s the MSRP.) If you want to read the novel ASAP, I highly recommend the audiobook, narrated by Julia Knippen, who is SUPERB. It’s also the most effective way to support our work (I make a much higher royalty per unit sold than I do print books, woohoo!). The ebook is always an option, as is requesting #bonesandall from the local library. When you borrow a book, *any* book, it’s much more likely that your library will choose to acquire more titles by that author in the future. 😇 Thank you all so much for the enthusiasm and excitement you have shown for this book and the forthcoming film. It means a lot to me! Btw, if you have book Qs I haven’t answered on my website, drop them in the comments and I’ll answer them in a YouTube video (will record the Q+A series after I get back from my set visit!) #bonesandallfilm #bonesandallmovie #bookstagram #YAlit #authorsofinstagram

This little dude stowed away on a dill plant I picked up at the hardware store. I’ve been watching his movements all week. #indoorgarden #plantstagram
