Ash's toughest challenge yet

So, two things:

Tomorrow I will be in Nashville, TN for the final stop on the Ash to Nash tour with Beth Revis (Across the Universe), Victoria Schwab (The Near Witch), and Myra McEntire (Hourglass). We'll be at Barnes and Noble from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, and there will be a panel and giveaways and a good time will be had by all.

Details here.

AND...

Tomorrow (Monday, August 8th) is also the YA Crush Tourney, and its Ash vs. Jace Wayland, in his toughest battle yet! So, if you want to give Ash a sliver of a fighting chance against the mighty Jace, go here to vote for him. The voting starts at 8am Central time and will continue until 8pm.

Oh, and one more thing. If, against all odds, Ash manages to win against Jace Wayland, I will post another Ash/Meg scene.

And Ash will be shirtless. :D



(If it happens to be a tie, Cassie Clare and I discussed writing a scene with both Jace and Ash. Shirtless. Wrestling in jello. But only if there's a tie. How's that for a visual, lol!)

So go forth, and vote!

    Oh...Please do not ask me to choose between Ash and Jace. I love them both so much. It is a nightmare to choose one over another. I wish a tie.

    First I have to agree with you...this one will be a huge challenge. I'm a sucker for hot fictional characters and Jace is at the top of the list. I had a really hot dream about him once...yeah it's pretty sad because I'm 30, married with 2 kids. LoL

    BUT!!!! You have a huge shot at winning this! Because you have got Jaime and Patricia (two chicks on books) rooting for you! And that is a HUGE PLUS because everyone in the book blogging/ tweeting world loves them! ;) I haven't read your books yet but because of Patrica and Jaime, I ordered them through Harlequin and I got Iron Knight waiting for me on NetGalley. AND I'm rooting for TEAM ASH! So...Good luck tomorrow!

    AND I will give you the 411 when I am done with my books and have reviewed them! :) Team ASH

    now, don't misunderstand me, i really like the iron fey series and i think ash is crushworthy. but this thing with the crush tournament has really started getting on my nerves! it was supposed to be fun, and now authors are so competitive, that is sucks (personal opinion, respect it). for example, why should we get an ash - megan scene only if ash wins? it's not entirely up to us, if you know what i mean. i mean, jace could have a million supporters out there that we are aware of. how anyone is supposed to compete with that? so, in a few words, this has started like blackmail. vote him. and if he wins, you get free signed books and free extra deleted scene and... o.O

    @Anon

    That is your opinion, and I respect it. However, I personally think its great that authors are taking so much interest in the blogging world. I think its great that YA authors CAN be competitive without any hard feelings between them. I also think its great that the author's interest is generating more attention toward the Tourney, and as such, toward YA books in general. I'm well aware that Jace has legions of fans and will be next to impossible to beat; that's not the reason we put up the "prizes." We did it because its fun, and because it adds a little something to this event. We don't have to do anything, but we want to interact with readers and bloggers, and this is the best way. Apologies if it feels like blackmail to you, but its still all in the spirit of fun.

    Goodness anon. Have some fun or GTFO.

    Julie, I voted for Ash! I haven't read all of the books that Jace is in, I know, bad me.

    He was at 42% (236) when I voted. Good luck! I'll vote for him again when I get home. :)

    Omigosh!

    Ash...shirtless...(Thats what im talkin' bout) that, is something, i wouldnt miss, for the world. ;)

    (Sighs) i REALLY hope Ash wins, hes WAY better than Jace. Sorry Jace lovers, but Ash, is SO much better.

    I mean, you can't resist a "Dark, Strikingly Hansome, Ice prince!"

    I would LOVE a scene of Ash shirtless.

    But for now, all i can do is Daydream about how hot and gorgeous he is.

    And Julie, i think this event is awesome, AND, i cant wait for...wait for it, wait for itttt...The Iron Knight to come out! LOL, i just love this series and can't wait for the second to come out!

    I cant wait to read about a much older Ethan in the second series.

    Any-whooooo, before i ramble on about Ash (even though i have lots to say about him...) I hope everyone votes for him! -Hailey (Big Iron Fey Fan)

    I'm reading "The City of Ashes" now and I don't see how Jace beat Ash! Ash is just so amazing and I've loved him since the very moment he was introduced to the series! Jace is still growing on me...
