Lavender

• From Sterling: "In response to your last email, I ran into Andy Lien recently and spoke to her about putting something in lavender.  She pretty much told me "500 words and make sure its well written".  She is VERY open to the faes, (she sees Click's book on Maple's desk every day) and would be more than happy to publish something for us.
  Just contact her via the lavender email and tell her you are the White Ash that Aaron Schoon spoke to her about."
