YouTube: Act Out a Scene by Sara Raasch
For this month’s YouTube videos, we acted out scenes from our books. Today we’ve got Sara Raasch, author of the YA fantasy SNOW LIKE ASHES, playing with dolls and making stuff up. Sara Raasch has k…
I’m over at the OneFour YouTube Channel today. This month’s videos were supposed to be about acting out scenes from our books but, well, I, um…made something up. I apologize ahead of time.
BUT you get to see my mad animation skillz. Seriously, Pixar will be calling me any moment to offer me a job.

‘Cause people seem to only post the 20-something Audrey Hepburn
this is genuinely the first photo i’ve seen of her looking older
I didn’t know Audrey Hepburn grew old into a bomb-ass old lady until like, last year. I thought she died young cuz that’s the only pictures I’ve ever seen.
omg
she was also the granddaughter of a baron, the daughter of a nazi sympathizer, spent her teens doing ballet to secretly raise money for the dutch resistance against the nazis, and spent her post-film career as a goodwill ambassador of UNICEF, winning the presidential medal of freedom for her efforts.
and history remembers her as pretty.

Hey everyone! This is my 14 year old daughter’s...
Hey everyone! This is my 14 year old daughter’s submission to the FanArt Contest for New Leaf Literary Media! It’s for the panel that includes Marie Lu (Legend), Leigh Bardugo (Shadow&Bone), Michael DiMartino (Korra) and Seth Hoffman (Walking Dead). If she wins, she’ll get a print out of her art signed by all of them! But to win, she needs as many notes as she can. Could y’all do a 14 year old budding artist a favor and like and reblog this? I’ll love you all forever! :o) Thanks everyone!
Ahhh! TALENT ALERT! This is freakin’ EPIC.

Me: *puckers* This lemonade is liquid sugar with sugar extract.
Fiance: Do you want some water to dilute it?
Me: No, I'll just add vodka.

Join the BLIZZARD: Summer Giveaway!
Today is the first day of summer for 2013. While to most of America that means bathing suits, suntan lotion, and ice cream, in my little world it means it’s time for you to:
For those of you going “Blizzard? It’s 90 degrees outside!” let me recap:
In SNOW LIKE ASHES, there are four “normal” kingdoms and four season kingdoms: Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Thus on the first day of each season both this year and next year, I will be giving away increasingly-awesome SLA swag packs. They’ll start out with season-themed goodies and will grow to eventually include ARCs and signed copies! Aside from giving you guys fun treats, these giveaways also serve to create the Blizzard.
What is the Blizzard? In nature, blizzards would be ineffective without the individual snowflakes that make them so very powerful. The same with books — books are volatile, intense things, but would ultimately be nothing without each individual reader who makes them so very powerful. By spreading news of these contests via Twitter, adding SNOW LIKE ASHES on Goodreads, reblogging this post, and more, you contribute to the storm that in Fall 2014 will result in SNOW LIKE ASHES!
To make yourself the envy of the world and proclaim your status as a part of the Blizzard, every seasonal prize pack winner will also get a super-special, handmade-by-yours-truly snowflake charm. Observe:
For this most glamorous of second seasonal SLA giveaways, the prize pack comes stuffed with all sorts of SUMMER goodies! In SNOW LIKE ASHES, the Summer Kingdom is known for — what else? — pleasure. Relaxing and enjoying life and all in all having a good time of things. There are both benefits and very unfortunate political ramifications to being the kingdom known for pleasure, but in Summer, the bad stuff doesn’t seem quite as bad. Thus it is only appropriate that the prize pack for the SLA Blizzard Giveaway: Summer Edition comes complete with all manner of things to help you sit back, relax, and enjoy the summer of 2013.
Sweet and spicy chocolate that embodies the heat of Summer, a Sun & Sand candle to put you in a beachy mood, a $10 Barnes & Noble Gift Card so you can buy that perfect Summer read, and of course, your piece of the SNOW LIKE ASHES Blizzard!
How do you get this prize pack? Simple! Obey the Rafflecopter gods. Join the Blizzard, win free stuff!
The SNOW LIKE ASHES Blizzard Giveaway: Summer Edition runs June 21-July 4 and is open internationally. The winner will be announced Friday, July 5!
