Things are indeed progressing over here at SPARKED incorporated. We’re gearing up to launch our campaign on Sept 1, which will include joining the fantasy contest. Can’t wait! But lots to do in the meantime. Here’s our latest column for writers, in response to this question:

Hope that everyone else is doing well, writing well, reading well. It’s a pleasure to be part of this vibrant community of creative likeminds.
Warmly,

Greetings Bards!
I have recorded a reading from Chapter Five for you to enjoy! This excerpt introduces the protagonist Samsara. Alas, my notebook is only a Chromebook so the audio might be a bit wonky, it’s not great, it’s not bad, just not great! It actually came out better than I expected for a first reading. So without further Adieu, here you are. I hope you enjoy!

If you like this format I might release a few more excerpts this way as the campaign forges ahead. Just shoot me a message if you like or dislike the video. The next one I promise to be of a much better production value.
Cheers!
