Here’s this week’s roundup of Ash-related happenings:

• My interview at The Story Siren, where you can learn where I would time-travel to if I could (part of the official Ash blog tour)
• My interview at Presenting Lenore, where I talk about The X-Files! (part of the official Ash blog tour)
• My interview at Pop Culture Junkie, where I talk about how much I loved Fire by Kristin Cashore (part of the official Ash blog tour)
• A really lovely review/commentary on Ash and its bisexual themes
• In which I tell the Electrical Book Cafe what five things I would bring with me to a desert island (note: I’ve watched a lot of Lost!)
• In which I tell Tynga’s Urban Fantasy Reviews all about my own name
• My interview at The Book Blogger, where I share some of my favorite authors (part of the official Ash blog tour)
• My interview at Books By Their Cover, where I admit I know little about riding horses. (part of the official Ash blog tour)
• In which I write about the world-building that went into Ash on Cynthia Leitich Smith’s incredibly comprehensive kidlit site, Cynsations
• A thoughtful review of Ash from I Was a Teenage Book Geek: “Ash is a reminder that we write our own futures. It’s a reminder that there is no way back to the safety of our childhoods, and the only way is forward.”
• In which I am featured in the Outer Alliance Spotlight
• I was also lucky enough to be part of a Time Out New York feature on queer YA fiction. I was interviewed along with the fabulous Julie Anne Peters, whose book Rage: A Love Story is out right now. You can also read an excerpt from Ash here (it’s a particularly queer chapter).

And lastly I’m happy to share with you this video from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers in which I talk about Ash and go for a walk in the woods near my house:
