A nice young lady, Sunhi Mistwalker,  has a short chilling post apocalyptic story-series out After the Darkness, and  After the Darkness 2 .  Although you wouldn't know it from the first installment's cover, it is set in an ice-world, and thus she was asking me about my list of sympathetically themed list of ice and water novels that I had on hand.
As some of you know - I think I was mumbling about it in the comments - I am working on a international review series of novels at the moment.. But another grouping I had planned was the anti-fire list - wet and cold - if you will. Sort of like from Frost's Poem
Here is the list of what I have on hand- in hard copy:
John Boland - White August, 1955
John Christopher – The World in Winter, 1962

Fire 
and Ice 
 Some say 
the world will end in fire,
 Some say in 
ice.
 From what 
I've tasted of desire
 I hold with 
those who favor fire.
 But if it 
had to perish twice,
 I think I 
know enough of hate
 To say that 
for destruction ice
 Is also 
great
 And would 
suffice.
-Robert Frost

I have already reviewed:  
Robert Edric's Salvage which would have made the list based on its flooding theme,
Julie Myerson's Then which would add a fair amount of ice cubes into the mix, and finally
Cynthia Kraack's Minnesota Cold which by title alone makes the list.
I am sure I have some on my Kindle, but I have already told you about most of that list earlier.
