Getting ARCs of ICE LIKE FIRE.

Realizing that this means reviews of ICE LIKE FIRE will start popping up.

Realizing that said reviews mean people will be reading ICE LIKE FIRE, and finally, FINALLY, I will not be left to suffer all by my lonesome.

Wait, that was supposed to be a relieved gif. How did that get in there.

Whoops, there it is again. 

SARA WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING EVILLY YOU’RE SCARING PEOPLE.

Am I? Am I scaring people? I think the real question is…SHOULD YOU BE SCARED?

And the answer is.

(If you want an ARC of ICE LIKE FIRE, hop over here for the Spring Join the Blizzard contest!)

Hi, I recently bought, read, and fell in love with your book. I loved it so much I even read the acknowledgements, and I'm so excited to hear your story. I have loved writing stories since I started reading books and hated the endings (which I began to rew

Thank you so much!! Writers UNITE! :D

The one piece of advice I always always pass on is this: keep moving forward. Persistence is the only difference between a published author and an unpublished author. EVERYONE in this industry experiences a lot of rejection, but if you can keep on keepin’ on, you’ll be well ahead of the curve!

okay, but i mean, because they cycle through the seasons, does that mean that their climate for each season is less... extreme than that season kingdom? or are they as extreme? (besides paisley, of course)

Oh! Yes, that’s exactly what that means. The Rhythms have far more “average” seasons, whereas the Season Kingdoms have the extremes of each of their given seasons.
