I'm hoping to meet you at NoVaTBF tomorrow and I was thinking about bringing you some homemade goodies and was wondering if you like cookies and cream flavor or if you had any food allergies?
YAY NOVATEEN!!!
Unfortunately, I have a stupid amount of food allergies, which makes it impossibly hard to eat treats :( BUT in lieu of goodies, I will accept squealing, fist bumps, and/or excited jump hugs a la:
Okay maybe not that last one.
Hey Sara, I was just wondering, have you ever shared the story of how the idea for SLA came to you? And if not, would you mind sharing? I LOVE hearing about where my favorite books came from!
I have! I’ve talked about it in a few interviews, which can be found here. Just click on “Past Online Nonsense: Interviews” and a whole slew of my craziness (including SLA’s origin) will reveal itself!

Turtle-duck Date Night
This is my piece for the upcoming The Legend of Korra / Avatar: The Last Airbender Tribute Exhibition at Gallery Nucleus, opening this Saturday, March 7th, 6:00pm to 10:00pm. Mike and I will be there doing a signing for the first half of the reception (there are a limited number of spots in the signing line, but I’m not sure how they are working that), and hanging out for the rest. I think there will be a raffle, and plenty of cool stuff to purchase. A bunch of the crew members from the production will be there too (hopefully including some ATLA folks), so it is going to be a fun family reunion for us. I can’t wait to see all of the incredible artwork.
As for this piece, I used and modified Emily Tetri's production painting of Harmony Tower (designed by Lee Jung-Su). Otherwise, I drew and painted the rest of it. I based the turtle-duck boats on the charming swan boats I saw while visiting Ueno Park in Tokyo. Gallery Nucleus will be selling the above artwork as an exclusive print, in a limited edition of 100, to be released on opening night (and I’m pretty sure I’ll be signing them). I will be donating 100% of my share of the proceeds to an LGBTQ suicide prevention hotline.
I hope to see you Saturday! Get there early, as the lines for these Gallery Nucleus openings wrap all the way around a city block. If you can’t make it to the opening, the show will be hanging for two weeks. There is an event being planned for the closing as well. More on that later.
I finished your book a few weeks ago and I LOVED IT! Your book is perfect and and I just loved it <3 So when I saw the cover of Ice like fire I was soooo happy ^^ and I was wondering if Ice like fire will be longer than Snow like ashes or not ;) Thank
THANK YOU!!
Yes, ICE LIKE FIRE is longer than SNOW LIKE ASHES — SLA was about 100k and ILF is about 108k. Book 3 will be even longer!
