## Caption

Every author hopes their work will resonate — but for Jodi McAlister, that connection came full circle. 💞 When promoting her book NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS, a reader shared that McAlister’s stories inspired them to become an academic who studies romance — the very same field McAlister herself researches and writes about.

It’s a beautiful reminder of how storytelling can spark passion, shape careers, and build bridges between writer and reader. ✨
