It sounds like she put this up for free and then said hey, if you want to add to the tip jar/donate that'd be great. Is that right?
Or was this something more structured like Tim Pratt is doing where it's spelled out if you dontate X you'll get this, etc.?
Quote:

$200 and up: A single-page Marla comic by Justin Pierce, suitable for framing.
$300 and up: I name a character -- or spell, or aircraft, or something else in the book -- after you, or use a name we mutually agree upon. It's a great gift: immortalize your loved ones! Or yourself.
$400 and up: A poster of the cover art from your choice from Blood Engines, Poison Sleep, and Dead Reign, signed by artist Daniel Dos Santos.

$2000 and up: I'll write a Marla Mason short story just for you, to be produced in a signed chapbook limited edition of a single copy.
$5,000 and up: I'll dedicate Broken Mirrors to you.
$10,000 and up: I'll hand-deliver a print copy to your door and make you a nice dinner at a time of our mutual agreement, and do a reading for you and your friends. (Destinations outside the US may require additional airfare. Query if you live in Australia or Europe or something and you're interested and we'll figure it out.)
Amounts are cumulative, so if you do many small donations, you get rewards based on the total you donated during the months the book is being posted.

Or was it behind some kind of paywall? (doesn't sound like it)
