And if the earth features, think about how that impacts things

Character Playlist: Meira, Snow Like Ashes

–

kings and queens, 30 seconds to mars // elastic heart, sia // isjaki, sigur ros // lost!, coldplay // avalanches (culla’s song), a fine frenzy // love song, dala // your bones, of monsters and men // dog days are over, florence + the machine // uprising, muse // arise, flyleaf

How do you react to the negative Goodreads reviews you get?

I totally appreciate reviews of any size and shape, but I try to live by the phrase “Protect the Art,” (for the life of me I CANNOT REMEMBER WHO SAID THAT #quotefail) meaning: anything detrimental to my book/writing needs to not be in my process. So while I’m eternally grateful that people read SLA and review it, for the sake of my future books, I don’t read negative reviews. Good vibes only up in here!

Is there a book after snow like ashes??

OH YES. Two, actually! You can find out all the details (summary, where to buy them, etc) here. 

The sequel, ICE LIKE FIRE, will be out 10/13/15, and Book 3 will be out Fall 2016!
