Elana K. Arnold completed her M.A. in Creative Writing/Fiction at the University of California, Davis. She grew up in Southern California, where she was lucky enough to have her own horse--a gorgeous mare named Rainbow--and a family who let her read as many books as she wanted. She lives in Long Beach, California, with her husband, two children, and a menagerie of animals.Her new novel is Burning.
Last month I asked the author about what she was reading. Arnold's reply:
I am so proud that two of my favorite writers--Nova Ren Suma and Andrew Smith--blurbed my second novel, Burning. And I'm also thrilled that both of them have new books out this spring!Visit Elana K. Arnold's website and blog.
Nova's novel 17 & Gone is an eerie, inward-turning, mystery/nightmare. Technically, I'm not reading it right now; I just finished it. But, like Nova's first YA novel Imaginary Girls, I know I will be reading 17 & Gone more than once.
Andrew's novel Winger is absolutely fabulous... so far! I am on page 97. Winger is mostly straight text, but frequent illustrations give additional insight to the main character's mind. Andrew's books are always hilarious, irreverent, and brilliant.
Writers Read: Elana K. Arnold (November 2012).
