Lena (Helena and Malena) sent an update for Sparked

Just wanted to say hello to Sparked followers. We haven’t forgotten about you (or our book, which really is happening very soon!) We’re getting our proverbial ducks in a row before launching our book campaign in early September. That means sharing the finished manuscript with teen beta-readers, making a promotional video (fun!) featuring some of those readers talking about it, and launching our advice column for aspiring writers in which we share our wisdom and wit (the latter being up for debate, of course).

The first two columns are now up, so check them out here: http://www.bay-ata.com/sparked/dear_lena.php

Find out the answers to the questions, "Do I need to write every day?" and, "Should I toss my embarrassing old journals?"

We would LOVE to answer a question of yours, fellow Inkshares scribe, so if you want to join in the conversation and fun, send us your questions and we’ll answer away! 

*Helena and Malena teach creative writing at Stanford, where novels about mean girls manifesting powers to save small towns from evil with a capital E are not the norm, though they’re working hard to change that...

    Borehole Bazaar: A Vow Unbroken
    Surviving abuse leaves no soul unscathed, and this is especially true of Ptielieren, an elite elvish bodyguard involuntarily integrated into an aversive-heavy culture. Strength can exist absent a ringing victory and weakness does not signify defeat.

    Lena (Helena and Malena) recommended The Sleeping Man
    I love the poetic language vivifying this fantasy world. "Doubt would kill in this barren landscape as easily as a blade gently slipped between two ribs." Moody and captivating from the first paragraph.
    The Sleeping Man
    The last of the dreamwalkers seeks for answers in the long lost Compendium, but the greatest mystery lies within his own past.
