Join the Blizzard!

    I don't know how long I followed Sara Raasch (SeeSaraWrite) for. I do know it has been for a long time. Like before high school. I may have been in 6th grade. I do know that she's been a huge inspiration for me. 

    When I read her post about finally selling her book, I was ecstatic. It gave me hope to never give up on writing. 

    In celebration of her book, Snow Like Ashes, Sara decided to start holding giveaways. Each one takes place during the start of a season (which has to do with her book). I remember joining the first one. Me, a 17 year old who never really won much. Then I saw my name. Laughed hysterically. Reloaded the page a million times to make sure it wasn't a joke. 

     It wasn't. 

     So now I'm here spreading the word out about her book and the giveaway: Join the Blizzard.  Click here for more about it. Also, don't forget to add her book on goodreads. I know I'm really excited for it. As should everyone in this world. Maybe universe... 

      

Here is a full synopsis of her book taken from her website: 

          

     At sixteen, Meira has only been allowed to have one goal: help the other Winterian refugees free their enslaved people from the King of Spring. Her life has been a whirl of bloody missions to steal back the magical conduit that will return power to Mather, Winter’s quiet and strong future king. 

When one mission lands Meira with half of the conduit, she discovers that nothing is above being sacrificed for Winter’s freedom – not even herself. With Sir – Winter’s former General and Meira’s only father-figure – treating her like a pawn, a heartbreaking alliance made with a dangerous kingdom, and all-out war looming around her, Meira begins to wonder if it’s possible to save Winter without losing herself.

But who Meira is links her to Winter and its conduit more than she could ever guess – and her connection is only the first snowflake in a blizzard that will change the world.

      

     I think this is me right now. Just please, give me this book. Also, I just love Dean. 

      Sara Raasch, thank you for everything. Thank you for showing me to never give up and thank you for writing such an awesome book. Congratulations!
