Picture #1: It was SUCH a great crowd! Standing room only!
Picture #2: Claire and I chatting it up!
Picture #3: My first official signed book!
Picture #4: Me with the EPICALLY LOVELY Summer Soaks! This girl, ya’ll. I LOVE HER. Meeting her in person was the cherry on the delicious dairy-free sundae of this evening!
Picture #5: If meeting Summer was the cherry, meeting Jeff Huang was the whipped cream! Okay, this analogy isn’t carrying anymore. What I mean to say is — the absurdly talented artist who made the cover image for SNOW LIKE ASHES came to the event! He is marvelous.
Picture #6: Mackenzie (my agent), me, Kristin (my editor), and Kelsey (her assistant)! Part of the fun of going to New York is meeting the fabulous publishing people who made SNOW LIKE ASHES possible!

I would LOVE for someone to create a master post of all the YA books that have titles with two different substances. I have NO IDEA why this trend took off the way it did. It is so funny to me.

WHY
Ha! I didn’t even notice this trend but you’re absolutely right. Some kind of unconscious groupthink thing going on?

Quite a few people made Pinterest boards for SNOW LIKE ASHES! Which was kind of like having really awesome people find really awesome pins for me. Muahahaha #totallymyplan
The first of the badass Pinterest boards is by Christina! SO MANY WINTERIAN FEELS. Love all the pics she found of Meira!
The second of the badass Pinterest boards is by Allison Grace! I want that red dress.
The third of the badass Pinterest boards is by Sarah Boucher! This was more a specific pin, and sooo fabulous — icy and breathtaking!
The fourth of the badass Pinterest boards is by Raffy Perez! This one is SO EPIC, and I’ve already spent way too much time staring dreamily at these pics. Love love love!
The fifth of the badass Pinterest boards is by P. Flores! This one is quite a bit darker than the others, and for that, of course, I love it!
The sixth of the badass Pinterest boards is by Jessica! Another SUPER EPIC one that makes me squeal all over. She did not only SLA-appropriate pins, but also fun marketing things!
The seventh and final of the badass Pinterest boards is by Alexia! This board is specific to Meira — and she would LOVE IT! So cool and blue and chill — absolutely spot-on!

This comes from Michelle, and can I just say, WOW THOSE COLORS. Plus, that quote is SO appropriate for SLA — I can totally see Meira tearing up over it! This is gorgeous!
