Most people want to save the world; seventeen-year-old Tora Reynolds just wants to get the hell off of it. One of the last survivors in Earth’s final years, Tora yearns to escape the wasteland her planet has become after the sun turns “red giant," but discovers her fellow survivors are even deadlier than the hostile environment.


Coming April 8, 2014!!

Right? RIGHT?? This makes three Valentines’ covers so far, and I must say, the remaining eleven have a LOT to live up to!

YouTube: Act Out a Scene by Sara Raasch

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.
