After the longest hiatus ever, I finally posted a new video on my BookTube channel! Sorry about the low quality, I had to use my phone to do it, but hopefully you’ll still be able to enjoy it :D

Day. Made.
Waiting for my author copies to be delivered
And there’s even just the slightest noise outside.

Join the Blizzard Contest: BIG CRAZY AWESOMENESS
So, this is the last Join the Blizzard contest before SNOW LIKE ASHES hits shelves.
(And yes, that does mean the Join the Blizzard contests will be continuing AFTER SLA’s release — there are three books, after all. Can’t leave the last two without contests!)
While I’m aware few of you have read SLA, these past months have let me share a lot of my weird little book with you through excerpts, tidbits, etc. Thus, to win this contest, I want you to make SLA-themed goodies to truly CREATE the Blizzard.
They can be anything — drawings or a Pinterest board or a playlist or a snowflake collage or ANYTHING that floats your boat. Make your creation and put a link to it (or a link to a picture of it) in the Rafflecopter form below.
BUT I’m only using Rafflecopter as a way to keep track of entries — the winner will be chosen by yours truly. Make me suffer for this decision, people — make it impossible for me to choose!
What are you working oh so hard for, you ask? Well…
Your piece of the SNOW LIKE ASHES Blizzard; Snow-in-a-Can, of course; SLA swag; and a handmade (again, by yours truly) chakram so you can be just! like! Meira! (if Meira used her chakram as a decoration because seriously if you win this don’t throw the chakram please)
BUT WAIT. THAT’S NOT ALL.
Not pictured is the GRAND PRIZE: a signed AND annotated FINISHED COPY of SNOW LIKE ASHES! It isn’t pictured because I haven’t gotten my author copies yet, but know: this will be the first of only THREE annotated finished copies of SLA that will be in existence. The next chance to win one won’t be until 2015, so hop onboard this train, yo.
This contest runs Sept 16-Sept 30 (giving you ample time to create your glorious SLA-themed goodies) with the winner announced Oct 1. Open internationally.
Which means: you will receive your annotated ARC before SNOW LIKE ASHES’ release! Be the envy of Winter!
(If you need additional help getting into the SNOW LIKE ASHES mindset, peruse my SLA Pinterest board.)
